my first thought is to trim second is adjustable control arms or long arms(assuming you have fixed arms, they were made for 4 in of lift not 6). without seeing better pics i cant say much though. also any reason for 34's? why not 33's?

The tires might sit close to the front of the rear wheel wells but as you go over bumps they swing back. You can use adjustable control arms to move them back but if you move them back to much they will hit on the rear. Plus when you move them back you need to watch the slip joint on the driveshaft (shouldn't really be problem but is something to keep an eye on). I think if you are gonna wheel with anything over 33 you pretty much will need to trim. With 6 inches of lift the control arms must be at horrible angles and ride must be terrible.
