It looks like the welds are good. Is it a solid or hollow center? Also is it going on your Jeep? If so I would use it till you could get an adj. one.

usually if i cut and sleeve any rods like that the trick is to cut both ends at an angle that way you have more surface area on the weld and its reasonably stronger. (just a little trick for future mods that require that kind of stuff).....as far as that being safe it depends on how much of the stock rod is overlapped inside the extension you made? if it is not overlapped than the pahnard rod has alot worse of a chance of bending than if its not overlapped.

Should work... Not sure what you use for the extension, looks like galvie in the pic, hope it is not! I am sure you used DOM. but like patriotyj said, consider 45* cuts next time, same Idea as using a fish plate when patching a frame. more surface area for stress to be applied.
