With a 6" lift your drive shafts won't be long enough.

Well, it depends on the engine, transmission and t-case. Some are ok, some are not.
On my '81 J10 the shaft is long enough, but hits the cross member at full droop. My '75 Cherokee was also fine with a 6" lift, even at full droop, although I had to mod the exhaust as the drive shaft wanted to go through it.

Once you have the lift, measure from yoke to yoke. In Arizona there are lots of places you can get a drive shaft made. Or Tom Wood's drive shafts makes great product. They have a lot of info on how to measure on their site. Price wise they are competitive with a lot of the local shops.
