Drive to you local driveline shop. They will measure it & make you a new one. $200 depending were you live.

Does anyone sell and extender that has flanges on both sides?

Bolt the extender to the rear of transfer (or front if that's your problem), then bolt driveshaft to extender...

Seem's like an easier solution than redoing the driveshaft..........

It is easier but then you end up with longer bolts that bolt the driveline to the flanges. The longer the bolt the easier it is to shear off. The right way is to lengthen the driveline

Flange on both ends (tubing inbetween),  normal size bolts.........

I've never seen that. I thought you were talking about driveshaft spacers like some people use on Suzukis.

That's the problem,  I haven't seen them either;  but it seems like such an easy idea (would make the front driveshaft lengthing easier when you get a crawler too). 

Then you don't have a custom length driveshaft, and if you ever need a new one,  just goto your local junkyard for a replacement.........

the local shop here charges less then 100 bucks to retube a shaft its not that big of a deal
