lifting a motorcycle raises the center of gravity, making the bike more top heavy also means that you must enter curves slower, you are better off, and safer to lower the bike not raising it. and off road bikes are better left alone for clearance issues, the risk of a low speed lay-over dramatically increases when you raise the bike, low speed accidents account for 68% of the total amount of motorcycle crashes.
longer shocks and forks will do this for you,
IE, if you have a 12" shock buy a 13"-15" shock, if your swing arm is cantilever, you can modify the cantilever and the linkage to get the lift you want. it costs more, but it is usually done right at this point. any change to the suspension geometry changes the bike's handling and it's center of gravity.
I don't know of any kits to do any of this.
good luck

doing a lift off that height is not possible as far as I know due to the drive shaft angles and suspention travel, large size tires are availeable but they are hard on parts in drive line and sterring .and a lift kit is available but not 6 Inchs.

Do a web search for "quad lift kits".
I found plenty.
