Welcome! Do you have air ride? I know those tend to come with more headache but the 6” kit from anywhere usually states what’s required after a lift is installed

It does not have air ride. I was told I would need to replace my front drive shaft

At 6" I don't think you need to replace the front driveshaft although it will be stressed at the angle it will be running. I'm sure some others will chime in.

Thank you guys for your advice and feedback I ordered a 6 inch rough country lift kit it says that I will be able to run 37’s if I run 20”x9” wide wheels And 37” x 12.5” wide tires. I’m not sure what size wheel spacers I’m going to need but I will figure it out when the time comes I suppose again thank you

I have a 2” leveling kit, with a 1.5” body lift and I was running 35/1250r20 tires on stock wheels with a 1.5” whee spacer. It was enough to fill the fenders with slight tire rub. I would look look at www.customwheeloffset.com for ideas on what combo tire and wheel offset for your taste!
