6” lift for serious off-roading??

Hey guys. I’ve owned a 2016 taco for years now, totally decked it out with armor, tires, etc. I had full BP-51 setup on it and loved it. Loved off roading it and actually took it on some pretty rough stuff. I had all steel armor below, slid down rocks, hit full flex with a tire in the air and locked diffs on quite a few occasions. I’m not a rock crawler but any stretch, I just ask a lot of my vehicle. I also consistently mobbed down trails going 45+ when others are stuck going 15 on less modded vehicles.
Unfortunately, I recently just bent the frame and the truck is totaled. :/

My dilemma is this...
I just bought another taco that already has a 6” BDS kit. I stupidly thought I could just remove it and swap for my full BP-51 setup and all my armor. Well come to find out they cut out the rear crossmember to do it, basically making it impossible to take off. (I understand it’s possible, but quite frankly way too much work compared to just selling the truck)

I know a lot of guys do the 6” lift and are happy with it, but most of the guys I’ve heard from going that high aren’t seriously off-roading.

I don’t want to pour a bunch more money into this truck doing gears, etc. if I’m going to regret the 6” lift and wishing I had my 2.5” back.
If I opt for the Fox 2.5 adjustable dampening 6” coilovers, and maybe do some custom work to fit skids around the dropped differential, how well will this handle trails? Keep in mind what I’m expecting my truck to do...

Is there anything else that should be on my radar suspension-wise that I’m not thinking about that I should do or would drastically improve this?
6” kits are totally out of my wheelhouse so I appreciate your guys opinions. If that opinion is “lift is shit for real off-roading and sell the truck” then you know - it is what it is...

Thanks guys!
