Default Longer plug wires?

Do you know who makes longer wire sets? I've got MSD 8.5s now that are about an inch longer than stock, but with my new tall valve covers, are about a 1/2" too short. They measure 9.5" from rubber tip-to-tips, and the electrical connection is inset about 1" on the spark plug end. Thanks for helping.

I used an AC Delco set for a 2003 Tahoe. They are longer, don't remember how much, but are otherwise the same as stock.
