Drag race setup?

I've done some racing in my 01 TA and now I want to drag the truck more seriously. The car dead hooks and I'd like the truck to do this as well.

After tons of reading from all the knowledgable guys on here, I think I have a plan, but would like everyones input.

The truck is a 69 lwb fleetside, LS1 4l60E with a yank 3500 stall, 3.73's.
Front end weight is 2320 lbs, rear 1595 lbs with me in it (170lbs).

So far from the advice and calculations here, I was thinking of running a 47140 moroso and shimming to get 9" installed height along with a 1574 QA1 drag shock (I've run QA1's on the TA and really like them)

Now for the rear I need more help. Going to reposition shocks and had planned on a 1661 QA1 in the stock repositioned location. Not sure on the rear coil though. I want the truck to have the lowered stance still. It sits about 3/5 right now.

Whats everyone think?
