I've looked at quite a few other companies watts links and none actually list what size rod ends they use, but it looks like some of them use as big as 3/4" rod ends. I'm probably just being paranoid, but if one rod end breaks, I'm most likely going to crash I have enough material on my mounting points that I could upgrade to 5/8" rod ends, and I may do that to ease my mind
I would actually go with a 3/4 shank with a 5/8 bore... ONLY because that's the same rod end we use on a bunch of other applications. I would upgrdae from the 1/2 rod ends for peace of mind... 5/8 should be plenty strong.
