To be frank, the arm that is on your truck does NOT look like a FA600 arm to me. You're saying you measured it and that the end of it is 7" below the frame (which would be 4" lower than a stock arm would be), so I don't know what else to tell you other than that yes many people do infact run the FA600 arm on a 6" lift and do have acceptable performance with it.
The first arm pic you posted seems more like a FA600... If it is (and the one on your truck is not), then it should be plainly obvious that it's a way bigger arm (much like as in the examples alwaysfloored posted).
