Default 6 link

Who makes the beast 6 link kit? I wasted another Spicer u joint again. I hate the feeling that a wheel can collapse do to a u joint failure. Not to mention just by adding a kit there other benefits. Like taking a good amount of the load off the u joints.
So where can I get it and how much? Thanks John :cheers:

I don't know about the 6-Link, but I'd suggest going with Brute Force U-Joints, without the lubrication fitting.

Are they that much better? The spicers are a heavy duty u joint also and don't have the grease fittings either. Thanks for the info :thumbs:

Give Rick Taylor a call 250/770-1965, he's in Canada. Tell him some Corvette Forum members recommended him.

I just bought the 6-link setup from Dragvette, along with the half-shaft safety loops and also a full set of Ujoints. He is shipping it for free and I think it was around $470 for all of it.

I'll let everyone know how the install goes with pictures!
