Couple of points I've been wondering about.

What ranges of VP$IP, PFR%, and PFA should I be aiming for?

Right now I'm at:
VP$IP: 20.65
PFR%: 10.79
PFA: Flop: 4.46, Turn: 3.30, River: 3.48 , Total: 3.93
Auto Rated: Ultra Aggressor

How should I be going about blind steals? I generally raise 4x BB + 1 BB per limper. I usually only go for blind steals on the button when no there's no other callers or just one. If I get a caller I will throw out a continuation bet on the flop 90% of the time. If that get's called and I have no hand I shut down.

My attempt to steal blinds right now is at 14.4%

I generally won't defend my blinds without a hand. I will reraise someone who's steal attempt % is higher than 25% if I have any kind of hand, preferably a SC or a PP.

My stats for steals are:

Folded to SB steal: 85%
Folded to BB steal: 77%
Folded to BB steal HU: 76%

Overall I'm guessing I need to start raising more preflop and to slowdown postflop as far as bettin goes.

Suggestions?
I don't think you should be "aiming" for any numbers in particular. Your stats seem pretty solid anyways and nothing too out of the ordinary. You should be focusing on your post-flop decisions more than your preflop decisions, since they tend to be more important. Don't be a robot about making continuation bets, some flops aren't good to bet at and don't be making many continuation bets into more than one player. If you think the flop missed your opponent then bet, but on a 9TJ 2 heart board it's best to check with air here since flops like that tend to hit your opponents hand range in the face. It sounds like you are being over-aggressive postflop and that can get you into some trouble if you don't know when to slow down.

When people start playing 6-max they think it's an excuse to play a ton of marginal hands out of position and make things more complicated than they are. I reccommend cardrunners.com to all those who are playing 6-max nl cash games since that is what the site specializes in. Gl at the tables.
