I have full pack 3in on the rear, 3 in spacers on the front. It creaks and makes every noise known to man when I drive down a bumpy road. I haven't replaced the shocks in about 3 years. Any suggestions?

Well guess getting a junkyard lift wasn't the best idea. Since the shocks fit i just kept them. Any suggestions on what kind to get on a budget? I'm not looking to spend 500 bucks but i want it to ride good. I drive far hauling my dirtbike from race to race.

3" of spacers might be a little to much compression for stock springs. And most likely your rear shackle angle is vertical. You can check your shocks by disconnecting them and seeing if they have any spring back.
