lengthening clutch rod?

I put this 2" body lift on my truck and now I need to lengthen my clutch pedal rod. I am having a tough time trying to figure out what to do here.

I have been looking around for a rod that is 2" longer with threads at both ends and some sort of fitting that threads onto the end of it, but haven't found anything. I can try to find someone with a welder and weld in a 2" piece in the middle but the ends of the rod, where it pivots on either end is worn pretty good so I want to replace that.

I thought I saw something that someone had rigged up but can't remember, maybe it was CrazyLonghorn. Anyways, does anyone have any ideas on this so that I can be one step closer to getting her running again?

If this makes sense it looks a little like this, one end connected to the clutch pedal and the other on the pivot point for the tranny:
