A "jack" question

Used the "search" button but i got a ton of things referring to tahts "jack" and stuff.

So basically i am getting 6" fabtech susp lift. Am i going to need a new jack or will my old one work? Im worried that the old jack won't hit up high enough for me to change the tires and everything! I don't have a over the counter jack just the standard one that came with my truck.

Am i going to need a new one?
