Ditch the rear sway because it's kind of useless. It limits your flex, adds weight (hardly but still), and you really won't notice a difference without it. The front is important while the back is unnecessary, though a good number of people ditch the front as well.
And your shackle angle should be 45 degrees to the rear. You might want to look into relocation brackets or sliders.

Recommend leaving the sway bar. I wouldn't remove it for stability reasons. There are arguments against this, but I think the pros outweigh the cons.
