Your 6" lift is most likely a drop bracket lift. Which means you will be doing some cutting into your ifs to install this. This is a permanent lift and there is no going back. With these lifts, you actually lose ground clearance because this lift makes the diff hang down lower. The plus side is you can run bigger tires to help compensate for this, but the overall ride quality and lack of suspension upgrades makes it not the best choice offroad.

Not sure if this is exactly what you have because your pic isn't working, but I do know there is no such thing as a 6" suspension lift for the front of a tacoma.
