So today I went into a professional lift kit shop that works on trucks and jeeps and here is what they quoted me:
6" lift $900
Labor $450
Alignment $100
$1543.70 is what he told me without rims and tires after taxes.
17x9 rims (basically just look like steelies in black)
35x12.50 R17 bfg all terrains
Lug nuts
Mount and balance
This came out to $1991.18
All together he said it would be $3450
I was wondering if this is a fair price or not, I'm not 100% about the rims yet so it might change a bit but pretty accurate for the most part.

Yeah. Sounds fair to me. I'd do the install myself and save the labor cost, but that's not a rip off if you want it done by a shop with a warranty on labor.

What kind of lift is that? My level cost $1600, granted its top of the line but a 6" lift should be more than that

I'm not sure he didn't really specify but I think that they work with the lift kit company direct because when I asked about the maxtrac he kept telling me his customers preferred another one better.

A level cost you 1600 dollars? Jesus Christ lol I couldn't be happier with my 200 dollar bilstein level.
