Question Lengthening Half Shafts

Hey all.

I'm in a predicament where I need to lengthen both my rear shafts coming out of my diff to the rear wheels. I'm running about a 6 inch wide body done by moving control arms but now have the problem of shafts too short. The original plan was to make some dolt in spacers that bolted on but I feel they won't hold to the 550+ foot pounds of torque my engine is putting out.

Is there any way I could lengthen the shafts? I was thinking about cutting splicing and sleeving but I still don't think that will hold. Does any one know of a place that could make a new shaft at a longer length?

Thanks for reading,

Brent.
