Default Best cheap shocks?

Anyone know of a good set of cheapish shocks? Something that comes in 6 inch lift size? Or slightly bigger. I need new shocks after i built my LA set up... As well as a good set of long brakelines. Anyone know where to get those either?

your best bet would be to read the stickies in the section and make sure your posting in the proper place as this will get ignored in the fab section because you cannt follow simple rules

*attention* you guys have to read the stickies! Must read!!!!

bilsteins are nice but you said cheap. and doetsch tech pre runner 8000's or 9000 nitros are more than enough to accomadate 6.5" of lift, and they ride decent.
