Wide Open Designs 3/4-16 Chromoly Rod Ends with a 5/8 bore are built for high-load suspension and chassis applications where increased shank strength is required without stepping up bore size.

These Chromoly Steel Series rod ends are commonly used on four-link and ladder bar setups, delivering excellent strength, durability, and smooth articulation in demanding environments.

Featuring a self-sealing, self-lubricating Nylon/PTFE race, these rod ends keep dirt and debris out while reducing wear and maintenancemaking them ideal for both trail and performance builds.

Tech Insight

Running a 3/4-16 shank with a 5/8 bore is a popular upgrade path for builders who want additional rod end strength without changing existing 5/8 mounting hardware. The increased shank diameter improves resistance to bending and fatigue while maintaining compatibility with common suspension tabs.

Metal-to-metal support allows these rod ends to handle heavy shock loads, while the increased cross-sectional thickness enhances overall tensile strength in high-abuse applications.
