Capitalism is a great concept, but all these parts can be obtained from Rod End Supply for about half that.

Well aren't YOU just everyone's best friend? hahaha.

Personally, I don't mind paying somebody to do the research for me on what size, length, etc for the rod ends, plus the tie-rod, plus provide the hardware. then assemble it all into a kit for me, so that I can simply ORDER it, and then INSTALL it.... without worrying if I ordered the wrong one, waiting to see if it'll arrive correctly, hoping that the bolts I sourced are correct, etc etc etc.

And I know that personally, if I were offering a service / product on a forum and you hijacked my thread to tell everyone how to get my service / product without me, I'd probably wish you had started your OWN thread about it.

but that's just me, and my sense of decency.

I agree with you. Certainly you have a backend investment of time associated with the development particulars for the part. I recognize the value ($$ - time being money) in that effort. Personally, I commend you.

Further, anyone could source parts to fabricate half-the stuff "sold" upon these forums. That's the easy part.

Keep up the good work. Thank you.

You can also go buy an aluminum bar from anywhere, mill the ends, source the attaching hardware for about 1/3 the price, but then again you will have to have the tools/mills to do the machining required, and the time, and the skills...

Like I said, I have been doing stuff like this since I could crawl, I had a hammer in my hands at age 2 and have been turning wrenches for over 50 years now so If I am offering a product, I know it's going to be a superior product that will never fail. But if you want to build your own using parts from Rod End Supply, go ahead. But I have already sourced the items, done the homework and verified fitment.

Are the rod end threads reversed so you can adjust the length while on car by rotating the tube?

Yes. And due to a previous request I have contacted the manufacture to see if "flats" can be placed on the tube for a wrenched adjustment. But the tube rotates easily by hand with wheels off the ground.
