E-rigging (e-rigging.com) has drop forged hot dipped galvanizd 5/8" x 15" and 
5/8 x 18" eye bolts in stock ready to ship.  About $11 and $13 each.  I've had 
good results with them.

McMaster-Carr has 18" eye bolts in several shank sizes:

https://www.mcmaster.com/products/screws/shank-length~18/

these are galvanized.  be careful, with the plating thickness one must use
the supplied nut.

If this is to hold the equilizer plate, the 5/8" listed capacity of 3500#
might be on the light side depending on your install?

Rohn part number 260004p.  The lowest price I saw was ~$100 and looks like list 
is $128.  And like you said, out of stock everywhere.
I'm not clear on where/how this gets used with the equalizer plate, but it 
seems there must be a better option. I'm surprised nobody has offered advice on 
that.
Good luck with the project.
