What size tie rods should be used to get the proper strength to make up some custom tie rods? Would 7/16" be adequate or should 1/2" be used?

No offense intended, but if you need to ask a question like that, you probably shouldn't be making them.

Well, yes, I do take offense at that. I know how to look up the specs on the joints and I know how to calculate an assumed load on the joint. I do, after all, have a B.S. in mechanical engineering technology, CSU Sacramento, 1989. What is the major of your bachelor's degree? Whatever it is, do you think there is any value in asking for advice from people that have done what you are trying to do? When something is built and tested we call the results "emperical evidence".
