Per, what companies do you recommend for sourcing-out rod-ends?

I'm in need of a single odd-dimension spherical end to complete a strut bar installation. The "odd" part in this is that the threaded shank needs to be at least 2" long.

I like Aurora rod ends...they're sort of the gold standard for stuff like that. There are others out there, but that's what I have experience with.
