DKT has been using them for 3 years and no problem alum is great.
bowtiekid, you asked doesn't that sound weak. will look at it this way. chromoly is rated at 45K tensile strenght. and good alum(2024) is rated at 65K tensile strenght.
so let me ask you. does that sound weak?

Also I know the rod ends are beefier than most. Jameel (the builder) says smaller is actually plenty strong but he still goes with the beefier ends just so customers feel it is safer...

Hey Big Bird, where did you get those poly style rod ends?
And how are you supposed to properly "maintain" a rod end? Mine don't have any greese fittings like yours.
To stay on topic they are loud as hell over any kind of bump. People always look at me like the car is about to fall apart when they ask about them.
