Hows this for a setup for my 69? And shock help

After reading how to make it handle until my head hurt I'm gunna try to do some basic things on a budget to make my truck handle a little better. Have an idea of the parts I want, but wanna run it by everyone to see what you guys think.

Also as far as shocks go I have no idea what I should get.

For a baseline, my trucks currently on cut springs and the cheapest shocks they have at O'Reilys with no sway bars so anything I do should be a big improvement.

I bought Hotchkis springs on sale @ $325 because of the spring rates.

For sway bars I'm thinking to go cheap and buy the POL set on ebay for $260

Early Classics for the panhard bar @ $129

DIY rear shock locators via

Front shock relocators from bro speed on ebay @ $35 (is the necessary?)

PF lower control arms. Seem solid and only buying the lowers gets you 7°

So what do you guys think? Am I going too cheap anywhere? Are shock relocators up front necessary? And am I forgetting anything?

Most importantly if everything else looks good, what shocks should I go with?
