RockJock Johnny Joint Rod End 2 1/2in Forged 2.625in X .562in Ball 1 1/4in-12 RH Thread Shank

RockJock is a well-known name in the off-road world, specializing in robust suspension components. This Johnny Joint rod end is a prime example of their focus on durability and performance for custom builds. It's designed to give fabricators and suspension system builders a part that allows for a significant amount of articulation, far more than a standard heim joint. If you're putting together a custom suspension, this joint can help you achieve the flex you need.

What sets the Johnny Joint apart is its design. Instead of just a metal-on-metal connection, it uses a high-density urethane bushing around the inner ball. This not only cushions the ride a bit but also helps retain grease for better lubrication. The center ball itself is heat-treated and cross-drilled, so you can easily lubricate it through the included zerk fitting. This particular joint has a 2 1/2 inch forged body, a 2.625 inch wide ball, and a shank with 1 1/4 inch - 12 right-hand threads, ready for your custom linkage.

The internals are held in place with two heat-treated side washers and a snap ring, ensuring it stays together even under stress. It's finished with a gold zinc plating for a bit of corrosion resistance. This is a solid option for anyone building a custom suspension system where unrestricted movement and durability are key.
