You can put Fox, King, SAW, etc on it.
If your Shocks are leaking, contact the place you bought them from as they should be able to warranty them out.
The shocks for a 6" lift are shorter than the ones for the 8" lift.

If you have a 6" spring lift you can stack the 3" hanger kit on it to make 9". You might need a different track bar or bracket and a further drop pitman arm to make it all work, but it would allow you to keep your current springs.

As mentioned you can do the 3" hanger shackle in the front and either a block in the rear or a set of spring if you currently still have the stock rear springs.
I would definitely recommend a adjustable trac bar.
Box kit (pitman arm, trac bar bracket, etc..) is the same.
SAW is Sway-A-Way.
Best shock is subjective.
Best shock for the money currently is Icon.
King would be my next choice for an upgrade and you have the option of customizing them with custom anodizing, braided ss lines, etc..
