Default Extended Ball Joint for RXV

I recently installed a SGC 6" lift kit and after setting my camber, my ball joints are screwed as far out as I dare go in order to get toe in/out corrected. Do they make a longer ball joint that will allow me to extend them out? If so, where can they be bought, I have searched for a couple days now but cannot seem to find them.

Never heard of the part your looking for.

(Just so you dont think "26 people looked, and not a single response")

This is the steering tie rod, also known as the ball joint. This part adjusts your toe in/out. When I look them up some people call them tie rods, some call them ball joints, technical term is rod end. See attached photo.

I knew exactly what you were asking for, but never seen a longer version.

I am shocked this not available, I still need to adjust my camber by 1/2” on each tire which will throw my toe in / out way off and there isn’t enough adjustment in my rod end, I figured this would be a common issue with these lift kits. I left a message for the manufacturer but they have been less than desirable in responding to any messages.

Updated: With this being the first lift kit I have ever installed on a golf cart,I started looking this lift kit over in detail. It is apparent that the spindle brackets that came with the lift kit which hold the A-Arm bracket have far too much play in them, the spindle bracket at the A-Arm can move side to side by a good 1/4". I picked up some shims and that helped align everything. 1/4" at the A-Arm translated to a good 1/2" or better at the tire and rod end.
