I'd say some shorter shocks to lower CG, maybe a bit longer top section on the chassis so that you can have a little longer area for the shocks. Also it looks as though you plan to mount the shock ends to the 4 links. This is generally harder to do than mounting it to the axle. You usually have to buy specialty links or design them yourself.

That can be tough on a link not designed for shock mounts, but there are small clamps that are made to mount the shock to the link. They can be slid up and down the link for tuning, too. Check some out at the link below as an example.
