Is there any piece that has a “long stud” anywhere, with a cylinder the same radius as a stud that longer than 1 Lego unit?

I’m looking to work in a 1x4 plate space with 4 LEGO units of depth shift max in either direction. Headlights produces one 2.5 plate connection, but also a 3 plate connection right beside. A brick with technic pin holes would also work if one side were studs instead of holes. Hope this helps.

That's definitely an option, although I would prefer if gaps weren't as obvious when looking from the side. But beggars can't be choosers, so I'll do that if I can't find any other methods.

When creating my MOC, I have found that I need to build exactly 5 LEGO units (2.5 plate heights) above a plate, both planes being studs up. However, I can’t seem to find a method to get this height difference. Does anyone know of any way to achieve this, especially in a small space? I would also accept any techniques with modified LEGO, so long as the modification is convenient (simple cutting/gluing).
