Tie rod adjusting sleeve

Would anybody know where to get a tie rod adjusting sleeve that is a couple inches longer than the stock 5 1/2" sleeve. Im speaking of the sleeve that adjusts the pitman arm end. I cant seem to put enough of the tie rod ends into the sleeve for my comfort level. I have a drop pitman arm as I have about 9 to 10" of suspension lift. Thought it would be an easy thing to find a sleeve a few inches longer with the same 1"-18 threads, but apparently it is more than meets the eye. Thanks maxx

This is just my opinion but you should prob be looking into x over steering with 10' of lift.

This would alleviate your problem at the same time
