6x6 trailing arms

Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

Mckenzies has 1 x 6, Kartex has 3 x6 , 6x6 will most likely have to be custom made. I racer friend of mine has a jig for building 6x6 tubular srms for his class 10 car.
we use 6x6 build for summers outboard cv.

Hmm the jig is for tubular arms, not box type like what I run on race car.
the Blick Chic arms might be perfect, you could just add 3" to the arm length and they will be 6x6 (I think) email them they may be able to build them cheaper. They sell the 3x3 kit for $125, you will need 2 bearing carriers. 50-100 ea.
