Telescoping 3-pt lift arms

Thanks… That measurement (closed) would be in agreement with my original lift arms, and is what I’m attempting to determine before I buy any online
Despite having a set (kit) in-stock…. the Coleman’s woman will only measure it as it sits in the box… stating it is 22” long…and sent a pic. Trouble is…in the pic…it’s still in the box…DIS-assembled. She is not interested sufficiently to insert the short-end into the long-arm and measure it. I think if she were employed in My Sales Dept…. she’d be refreshing her resume’ about now.
THANK YOU, Hodge! I appreciate not only your good idea about using Kioti arms… but also your efforts to get those measurements for me.
Unfortunately I need 32” …That is apparently the difference between Cat I (28.5”) and Cat II (32.5”).

OK…just to put an “end to the story” on this…. I discussed my desire with Messicks…and with my local Kubota dealer…and both gave astronomic prices to convert my M4700DT to telescoping lift arms. The individual parts would run $1k… EACH SIDE…! 
When I discussed “whole goods”…. Messicks parts dept transferred me to ”Nate”…. who was kind enough to do some research for me…and provided me with the actual PN’s I would need to “Git ‘er Done” …. but… Yep… almost $2K to do that Plus Shipping of course.
I went by the local KIOTI dealer and looked at a RX6220 (Cat II hitch) they had on the lot and talked with them about buying the parts…and they promised me to get back with a price and availability…. but they actually seem too “busy to be bothered”. (I walked around their lot and looked at their equipt on dissplay for almost 30 mins and no one even bothered to come out and ask if they could help me…. despite Zero Other Customers on site.
I then did a little research online and found the PNs Messicks Nate had identified for me… and VOILA! found the complete kit at a very fair price and got it ordered and in-hand!
However, I do Not Need the telescoping stabilizers which came in the kit….and if you have those awful Turnbuckle-Type stabilizers…and Wish you had Telescoping Stabilizers…. I would Love to Sell those to help recover some of my expenses on this.
Here’s a pic of what arrived in the complete kit… But I only used the lift-arms… the telescopic stabilizers are brand-new/never installed and come with the necessary hardware, pins, bolts, etc…. If you want them,… PM me.
