Default Shorter than stock adjustable track bar needed

So, here is my story. I while back I had a place called Gas Pedal Industries fix my track bar bracket which the bolt had ripped through. I believe it was caused by constant death wobble over time. FYI: This wasn't something I had ignored in that I shortly prior had even traded a truck for this jeep. It's a 2005 Wrangler by the way with only a 1-3/4" coil spacer kit and 1" body mounts running on stock size tires right now. What they ended up doing was welding a new bracket to my front axle and modifying the stock track bar. Jeep had been siting for a while because it still had the death wobble after getting it back plus I couldn't afford to start replacing other front suspension parts at that time. I had other things I could drive so I let it sit. Well, I just kind of checked things out with it the other day because I was thinking about installing some adjustable control arms I bought for it a while back. From my measurement, the axle is off center 1/2 an inch. The current measurement of my modified track bar from center of bolts is 27 inches. In order to center my axle better, the track bar would need to be about 27-1/2 inches. I would really like to put an adjustable track bar on this jeep but no body that I can see even mentions the adjustable length in inches of their track bars. Is this some kind of top secret information or am I missing something, haha. How can I find an adjustable track bar for my jeep that won't cost me an arm and a leg? Do they even make a short one that would work? Any advice would be appreciated.
