Help with Control Arm Modification

I'm widening my car by 4"s by extending all of the suspension arms. I was hoping to get your opinion on my control arm solution, its not as clean as I was hoping it would be. I've posted pictures below to show you what I've done to add 2"s of length per arm. Do you think this is strong enough?


Here is the original Elephant Racing design


Here is the new design, with a 1' sleeve and threaded rod


This is the new design assembled





SPL makes a similar control arm, they extend the arm using this shiney piece, its the same dimensions as the sleave I'm using to extend the arm which is a good sign (my design also uses a threaded rod which should increase the strength
