I plan on doing shock relocaters and new shocks in the rear.... Heres a pic of the rear shock.
Monroe used to make a load-adjusting, coil-over shock like that for these trucks but I don't know if they are still available. My truck, which used to have a slide-in camper, is still fitted with them.

Given the likely age of the your shocks, the lower ride height (they look bottomed out), and the compromised angle, I'd guess that a simple relocation kit and just about any shock would be a considerable improvement.

Which drop springs are those?
