I'd make sure the collet can go about 4" above the bottom of the gantry, and within about 1"-2" from the table, so that a long bit will clear the workpiece, and a short bit will reach the table. With 6" clearance you'd need 8"-9" of travel for this. Also make sure your router hangs down below the z-axis plate to give you a bit more clearance.
