Hi Melissa,

You can definitely install 2 of # YR224-5 end caps on the ends of the # DL21554 while on the # CE10305G bracket, but not with the # CE10727A roller shaft.

Each end cap will add 1-1/2" of length so you would need a roller that is at least 15-1/2" long to accommodate the extra length and a little more for the pal nuts to have a good purchase area. That said, we do not have one in that specific length so your best bet would be to grab the Roller Shaft w/Cap Nuts 19" x 5/8" # 107-30A and cut it down to the needed length. This would be the best option for what you would like to do.
