When a truck has a 6 inch lift, you will need a drop hitch like the 180 Hitch 2-Ball Mount w/ Stainless Steel Balls - 2" Hitch - 10" Drop # LTB10-2 you referenced. To determine the exact drop you need, you will want to measure from the ground to the inside top of the receiver opening and then from the ground to the bottom of your trailer coupler. This will determine the drop you need as you subtract those two measurements. I've attached an article to assist and have linked all the drop hitch ball mounts to assist.
If you use the 180 Hitch ball mount above, you may want to consider using the Locking Dual Pin Assembly and Hitch Pin Set for 180 Hitch - Keyed Alike # WS06 to secure your ball mount and give you a single key to adjust the mount as needed.
