Rod End M2 2in Extension

The Rod End M2 2in Extension from AFCO Racing Products is a precision spherical shock end designed for racers and dedicated enthusiasts who demand adjustability and fine-tuned suspension geometry. This component exists because stock suspension often falls short in competitive and heavily modified vehicles—whether you're building a track car, road race machine, or high-performance street machine. The 2-inch extension geometry allows you to dial in ride height, control arm angles, and shock mounting positions that factory setups simply cannot accommodate, making it essential for custom chassis fabrication and serious suspension tuning.

Manufactured from aluminum and finished in blue anodize for corrosion resistance and visual identification, this rod end features a spherical bearing design that allows controlled articulation while maintaining load capacity across multiple series compatibility (11t, 13t, 21/26t, and 35 series). The spherical construction eliminates binding and allows suspension movement without restricting geometry, a critical advantage over fixed rod ends in dynamic driving situations. Aluminum construction keeps unsprung mass minimal—at just 0.33 lbs, every gram saved improves responsiveness and reduces the load on your dampers and chassis. The 2-inch extended length provides significant adjustment range for those building custom A-arm configurations or modifying shock tower locations.

This extension rod end is ideal for road racers, autocrossers, circle-track competitors, and street enthusiasts performing major suspension overhauls. It pairs with AFCO shock bodies across their series lineup, making it compatible with both modern and classic race platforms. Installation requires proper alignment during assembly—ensure the spherical bearing is correctly seated and that all fasteners are torqued to specification to avoid premature wear or binding. Professionals often use these extensions when relocating shocks for weight distribution, modifying ride height for aerodynamic or performance gains, or adapting racing shocks to non-standard mounting points on custom chassis builds.
