Your picture #1 shows measuring from the center of the tie rod end. This should be about where the zerk fitting is.
Your picture #3 shows you have the tape beginning at the tie rod end’s jam nut, NOT the center of the tie rod end joint.
Measuring Jam nut to Jam nut would be result in a much shorter measurement.

If your tie rods are bottomed out and you have toe out you may have to shorten the rack tie rods.
