honestly, you dont need to go beyond 4inch lift.. you can fit 36's and it will be so much better on road and offroad.... just leave your body lift in and go with it.
with the panhards, replacement ones are a good option since std ones are pretty weak.. same with upper/lowers.
look round in forsale section, upper/lower come up regularly, and panhards are only 250-300 or were when i got my whiteline ones.
Your best option is to save a bit longer and do it right, since money is tight, you dont want to do it 1/2 arsed and have it shit itself totally so you cant drive it.

You're rear panhard is easy to make as it's just a straight bar and then weld your old eyes to each end (won't be adjustable that's all). Just have to get right length to suit your 6" lift. This can be acheived by tying a ratchet strap, or similar, from mount to mount and pulling axle over till all is symetrical. Then measure the distance b/w mounts. You're probably better off bying the front because it's cranked.
