Default recommend me some parts, lol

I have neglected my suspension and I know I need start work on it in order to improve. Caltracs are on my hit list but what elses. What kind of shocks, leaf spring clamps?

Right now I'm 100% stock w/124k on everything and the shocks show it A buddy was staged behind me and he watched me launch and told me this:

That 1-2 shift sounds snappy. Do you have and suspension mods? I watched you run and when the truck launched the rear end kind of bounced. Not like wheel hop but the whole back of the truck somewhat squatted, lifted back up, squatted again, and then you took off.
I'm thinking of lowering the *** w/2" drop shackles to level it out.

My truck isn't a full on drag truck, just to keep that in mind. I am looking for a good all around setup

Someone at the track asked me what I did to get my truck to squat on launches. My secret is that I've done nothing to the suspension lol

lol, fair enough with the mods in my sig and on a 28" hoosier slick I pulled a 1.95 60' on a stock 80e converter. I imagine things are gonna get wild once I put a stall in. The truck doesn't bounce going down, it does squat like he said when I launched and it shift which I always thought is what we want to happen lol
