Default Shock relocation brackets or new shocks?

where is a good place to get a set of shock relocation brackets from ? i leveld the front of my truck and dont want to max out the shocks . i have seen them for $50.00 .

is there a set of shocks for a little more ? i could do that also and have new shocks , i would be willing to pay $75. for a pair , what are some good shocks that have the extra 2 inches i need for around $75

Pro Comp 3000s (hydrogen softer ride), Pro Comp 9000s (Nitrogen - firmer ride) are made by Tenneco (parent company of Rancho & Monroe). Decent shocks and 4 Wheel Parts has them for around $35 each. Every once in a while they'll also throw them on a "buy 3 get 1 free" sale...

4 Wheel Parts has a database, tell them how much you are lifted over stock and they can match it up...

Or as a cheap and temp way, you can buy shock extenders from from Autozone for about $5

shock extenders? never heard of them . lol i can only find shock brackets for 50.00 and new shocks are like 72.00 so with 60,000 miles i might just go with the new shocks . thanks to hammer i checked those pro comp es3000 and they have the application for a 0-2 inch lift.
