I would honestly recommend doing a max of 4cm on your tibia. if you really want 6 then you should look into femur lengthening.

Avoid putting a nail on your tibia because of the risk of permanent knee pain! know that if you do external tibia as the tibia takes longer to heal you will be in the frames for 6 months at least.
