Where to find double threaded "link" for sway bar. 1/2-20 thread and 3.5" long?

With the drag link flip installed, now my rock krawler sway bar links are 3.5" too long. Since I had to drill out the sway bar for the 1/2" bolts, I can't go back to stock. I took them apart and the center link is 7" long and RH threaded at both ends in 1/2-20. I figure I need the same, but 3.5" long. Where in the heck do I find such an animal? Internet searches are showing me nothing.

You could get a threading die and threatened him down farther the shaft and nip the ends off as needed

I can try that. I was worried it wouldn't be as strong as "rolled" threads if the rods have those.

I don't know what style of threads it has that's just what I first thought of

Ace hardware may have some allthread. Or as said already, cut and rethread. But how did the drag link flip change the length of the links?

Yup, die works fine, but it's slow going. I got one end done- that's it for today. I'll tackle the rest tomorrow.

The EVO drag link flip repositions the sway bar links up 3.5" on each side. Would have been awesome had I did the flip when I installed the lift- I could have avoided a front adj trackbar and extended sway bar links.
