Default Stock Shock Angle?

I am planning on lowering my truck with a set of beltech leaf springs, coils, caltracs and new shocks. I think it will give me a 2 - 4 drop or something like that.......

My question is how steep of an angle with the rear shocks be at? They seem to already be at a fairly steep angle. Would it be worth doing some relocating with the new shocks?

Also any suggestions/criticism about my suspension selection would be appreciated as this is my first lowering kit...........

I am looking to gain some all around handeling/straightline performance.......

most drop kits come with shock reloactors for the axle mounts, they move them outwards to give the shocks a better angle.
