I would look at long arm lifts if you want to go 6".

Are you certain you want a 6" lift? I was in the same predicament that you're in. It all depends on how much offloading you'll do.

The amount of lift should make no difference on your off road use, it should be determined by the tire size you run and clearance needs. Too much lift is actually detrimental to off roaring and will make it more dangerous.

Remember ... This is not a TJ where you need 6-8" just to fit a 37"
A 35" tire will fit "on road no flexing) with some trimming. 33" with no lift at all.
