Longer LCA's?
SYE kit
Longer Driveshaft
New flexible brakelines F&R
shocks
e.t.c.


This is obviously just a list not knowing what your current set-up is.

t-case drop probably wont do you much good at 6"

definately budget for an sye and cv shaft

also look into what comes in a 6" lift as opposed to what comes in a 4" lift

basically you will need everything the 6" includes that the 4" doesnt include.

4" lift is about as big as you can go before it gets expensive fast.

depends on how much slack you have in them now, will they allow for the flex of 6'' lift?
