End Links to replace Superlift for 6" lift

Hey guys,

My superlift end links are done. They are making noise and need to be replaced.

I have a 6" lift. I live in Alberta so there is a lot of salt/snow/cold.

I like the look of Thurren links and I have some of his parts and they are awesome. I am just worried about heim joints rusting.

Is MAXX an option from Geno's? It says they have them available "with lift", but for a 6" lift?

Thanks a lot guys.

The maxx links can be ordered in custom lengths as well.

I never replaced my end links with my lift, and my set up is pretty close to yours. I have the Tuff County kit, I've been looking at end links so any advice you have would be great.

I just did the same thing...replaced mine with some Fabtec end links (that`s what the shop was able to get in the time I needed them!). They are very nice , WAAYY more heavy duty than the wimpy Superlift ones

They are solid billet alum. and have heim joints on the end that seem to be stainless , but don`t hold me to that...they don`t have any signs of rust yet after a month or so anyway

One more thing unrelated to the links....check the drop down bracket for the track bar , and re-tighten every bolt. That`s where a LOT of MY noise was coming from under the truck. The end links were shot as well , so they needed to be replaced anyway , but I don`t think they were making as much noise as I thought they were.

I have seen the Fabtec end links on trucks with 6" lifts, they are really nice, stout links. I have also see the Thuren end links, they are also nice, stout links. I do not have a lift on my truck, just the KORE 2" leveling, I replaced my end links recently with the MaxxLinks, they are well made, far superior over the stock end links (of course - anything is superior over the stock garbage) and I am assuming that their links for taller lifts would be equally comparable to those I am using.

I don't think you could do wrong with any of the end links mentioned, they are all well built.

I couldn`t tell you for sure , I never saw the invoice...I did some paint/body work in trade(partial anyway) for the owner...I believe he said they were around $150...sounded about right to me.

We are always doing things for each other and don`t keep exact #s on who owes who what.

You guys, go with Thuren. Don uses Stainless heims. He uses the best heims you can get short of full billet. Ballistic Fabrication does have billet heims, but I think those would be overkill. A Heim is only meant to last so long anyways and te smaller heims that Don uses are not all that expensive to replace.

Don, custom builds each set based off of the measurements you give him. Price wise I think he is very reasonable.
