A female to male coupler would work with the stock steering rod end and the Whiteline one.
This is a female to female coupler on a Nagisa toe arm. The stock steering rod is 14x1.5 and the rod end the Nagisa uses is 16x1.5 thread. A bit heavy since the coupler is Stainless Steel but I didn't want to use Aluminum like the Nagisa piece comes as. Originally they left it as hex bar the whole way but it was really heavy and I asked them to cut the material down on the lathe.
The whiteline piece is 3" center of ball joint to end. My steering rod end can extend up to 4 7/8".

Anybody have a connection to a machine shop that could get some made? I'd be in for a set. I'll keep looking but I have a feeling something like that isn't commercially available
Edit: actually, you could weld some threaded rod to the tie rod end and then use a coupling nut.

So do we have any idea how much load the steering arms see?
Really contemplating attempting this with a coupling nut and some threaded rod. According to Geoff from full races thread, you can keep one stock end link and can just diy one adjustable one for the other side.
Hardest part appears to be finding a set of non wrecked lcas

My DIY bump steer kit. I used a female m14x1.5 rod end and extended it. I machined a piece and tapped it m14x1.5. Then i threaded it and the rod end onto a bolt and welded it. Remove bolt, chase threads and paint it. Just gotta be careful not to overheat the rod end when welding and deform the teflon. I drilled out the taper on the knuckle so the bolt would pass and used washers to get the tie rod angle right. Then I machined a spacer from 6061 for the permanent solution.
