Yes-Luke can do all of this, and has the tooling currently.
He makes the rods one at a time on his lathe, so of course he could do this. I went up there one morning and he did this all in real time for me.
There would be some utility in getting the SOA done, then measure the eye to eye length, and then order your drag link (or relay rod in Toyota speak). The first time around, my drag link came out about 1/2 inch too long, and so Luke cut me another. I had it the next day. Really good customer service. The point is, there will be slight variations in length depending on your set-up, and the fact that yours will be custom, due to the slight differences in the ends. Definitely safest to get it basically done, and measure the total length of the rod plus ends.
