It depends which rod you are talking about.

The Panhard Rod is pretty straight forward to strengthen, putting some half tube or angle over it and welding is the straight forward solution.

This is the service I am intending to offer. My initial set is away at the fabricators and is being priced up. I am also getting a price for making them adjustable.

If you are talking about the Trailing Arms, then these cannot easily be strengthend and really need to be replaced to make them stronger.
