Lift kit installed, now brakes are hanging up? shocks question

[nwocart]

on my 99 DS, I got the 6" steeleng Lift and 23x10.5r12 wheels on this weekend. But I noticed after cruising it around that the brake pedal is hanging up underneath the cart, where the little piece is that has "teeth" that makes the parking brake stick. Not sure what I screwed up, or if this is common with a lift installation.

I have included a couple before/ after pics too.


My shocks were shot, so I am replacing those. As well as my bushings. I meant to order bushings before we started but i forgot


As far as shocks go, is everyone still using monroes from Advanced Auto or Oreilly?
Advanced part# 55829


or oreilly # 31176


or I found some on ebay




SO my main question is which set is the best? looks like advanced is slightly cheaper but I just want to make sure they are going to fit and I am not returning parts.


Thanks
