the rod ends in the pic are high end three piece and won't break. they're rated to around 16,000lb radial load. the bolts would shear first.

you might be thinking of the brace that doesn't use rod ends, just holes drilled in a bar. in this case, any chassis twist could cause a torsional fracture. better to use rod ends. blink's design looks right on the money.
