Springs
Anybody know of some front springs that will lower my truck about 1" and help straight line traction ( as most lowering springs kill straight line traction )???
Also does anybody know if putting on my 2" drop shackles will change anything with my Truck-Tracs???

A couple of things you can do to the front end to help traction are:
1. remove or disconnect the sway bar.
2. Relocate the battery to the back of the truck.
3. Use some "softer" shocks (we used to call them 90/10 drag shocks; it has to do with the way they are valved). I think you can get some adjustable shocks for the tuners. Basically they allow the front end to pop up quicker which give you better weight transfer.

You want to drop the rear.
The more favorable pinion angle will help your drag launch.
Relocating the battery helps.
You won't have any problems with the truck traks.
Several folks I know run this combo very successfully, and can STRAIGHT UP BOOGEY out of the hole even on F1's. I had a friend of mine (who has the factory tech valve body) with the exact same set-up you mentioned launch side by side with an eagle talon AWD running 20+ lbs of boost. In case you've never run an AWD turbo talon before. . .this is not an easy task for any vehicle. . .let alone a full size truck. I should have exact 60 ft times after I talk to him this week. Sub 1.90's are not out of the question though by any means.
GO FOR IT!!!
