My current bike, a Giant Yukon XC Hardtail is a 19". I'm moving on to a heftier bike, something like a DJ/Freeride bike. I'm about 5' 11"/6' tall, 150 pounds, and was wondering about what size frame I should be looking for when considering bikes. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks!

You are still going to be riding the same size which varies by brand. If you are planning on doing alot of jumping, you might go one size down.
Test ride the ones you are thinking about getting and pick what feels right.

go by top-tube lengh if you are gunna do mainly jumping you want a low frame with just a hair shortet tt than your xc bike has
I always go with the shortest seat tube length with the longest top tube length I can find. That give me plenty of standover height while allowing me to control the bike without feeling cramped or hitting my knees on the bars. usually its a size down from your XC bike. I ride a M XC and a S for freeride/dj
