6 inch lift?
Long arms might fix your caster issue (if they're exactly the right length for your setup) but it's not the additional length that's fixing it. It's having them be the right length (upper and lower) to angle the axle correctly. You could do the same thing with adjustable arms and the lift you have now without raising the center of gravity on the Jeep another 2" and making the handling worse. For 35" tires even a 4" lift is way more than you need.

Seems to me that you are getting the right answers, you just don't want to hear them...
Have you considered a body lift? Trimming the flares, if they are not already? Adding skids if you are dragging the belly? 6 inches with 35's will leave a whole lot of empty space in the wheel wells. Most will think that it looks bad. You don't?
If for whatever reason you do decide to go up that high, pay attention to what people are saying. As you go taller, the axles tilt, which raises the pinion, which automatically lowers the caster. At that height, good caster = bad pinion angle. Good pinion angle = bad caster. So do yourself a favor and look in to the $2000 aftermarket housings ($5000 aftermarket axles) that were mentioned. Or look at chopping up your current front axle. Or look in to a $1500 Spyntec kit. Or drive without the front driveshaft installed. Or -- learn to live with flighty steering.
