Definitely MadMan's Arm. You can't beat it for strength and adjustability, and he'll give you free 24 hour/day tech support for life.

If it must be longer than stock I would see if any of the above mentioned builders will make you a custom torque arm. Most shelf units are stock length or shorter.

The only area that Madman's is more adjustable is that he has double adjuster at both the top and bottom of the rear of the tq arm. We make housing bracket that has mounting holes 1" higher and 1" lower for the rear mount of the tq arm. WE don't have it on the site right now, but will be getting it up soon.
