The use of all thread for a rod end sounds dangerous. Saying "I told you so" will mean nothing to the man whose family you just killed when your driving down the road & your modified-parts break (potentially causing loss of control thus possibly causing a fatal accident). You should be striving for 100% OVERKILL/over-build on everything; "it will do" does not apply when building/fabbing suspension parts in your driveway.
x 2 research and homework is always a must imo
