Most of the stuff I have come across only go up to 4" lift. Not sure if those will have enough length for a 6" lift. Havent found a 6" kit; assembling it myself. Thought maybe someone on here might have lifted a f250 highboy 6".

Most lift companies only go up to a 4" lift for the highboy. Measure how long the shock needs to be from mount to mount, and go to your local 4x4 shop.

Another option is lowering your shock towers 2" in the front and relocating the rear shock mounts in the rear, and using the 4" lift shocks.
