Marlin, if you're serious about this I think it could actually be done relatively simple. Just think of using the Ladder Bar itself as a stiffening truss for the front segment of the leafspring. I'd buy a set of cheap traction bars to cut up, (or simply use your lower leaf spring mounting plates) and weld them to the top rear portion of the Ladder Bar and then just bolt a simple leaf spring clamp to the leafspring as close as possible to the front spring eye with a simple tab welded to the bottom of it and that should be it. If done properly, it would actually be functional as well as getting the look you're after.
