What are some shocks I can stretch to fit a 2.5" level but aren't as expensive as Bil

Hey everyone, im going to put in new shocks and level my truck soon. 97 ram 2500 v8. Im not really looking to spend $300 on shocks and $100 on a level. I'd like to save money in the shock department. My driving is mostly on road and isnt worthy of Bilsteins. Whats something I can stretch to fit a level that isnt almost $80 a piece?

Nothing special is needed for 2.5 lift.

I know it sucks to spend dough, but it would be a shame to go through all that work and not install the best shock you can afford. Remember its your ride comfort and more importantly control.

If you do it right the first time, you won't have any regrets and you won't have to do it again.

Thats the thing, I want the level but not if the shocks are that costly. $79 a piece. Is there a cheaper option?
