Have you ever considered pimping your stuff only in the vendor section? You seem to push your stuff constantly in tech.
NW-Sickboy has been running custom pre-bent rear lowers since 2004.

maybe dangerously cheap By placing the threaded section up at the frame mount end it is relatively protected, and can be sheathed even more or protected by a skid, the stock superior ride quality OEM bushings can be maintained and the "need" for the $$$ rod ends disappears as the control arm can simply rotate on its axis by using the threads. Far, far much more than you would every hope of achieving using the fancy ends. The bushing ring will bind up against the limits of the bushing or its mount at some point. $500 for a pair of those arms is a lot of cash for someone to toss into a "problem" that could be addressed for a lot less. Several folks have already demonstrated how to simply cut and sleeve the existing stock arms for under $100. You can just as easily add threaded inserts to allow all the rotation on that long axis as you'd ever hope to need for maybe another $100 and that's being generous.
Of course this all applies to the panhards as well. Put in an adjustable insert and voila' it allows it to rotate = no bushing bind.
