Extract a RAR file while automatically truncating long filenames

I have a lot of rar archives, and some of them contain files whose names are too long for the filesystem. When attempting to extract them using unrar x, I will get the error: Cannot create [extremely long filename].ext File name too long Using any archive utility currently available for Linux, is there one which can automatically shorten the extracted filename while preserving the extension? If an archive can be automatically edited pre-extraction to rectify this issue, that will suffice as well.
