I do not believe that you will find longer studs with the correct knurl size.

Dorman makes extended studs... just check what the stock application stats are and search their site for the length you need with the same knurl, diameter and thread pitch.

I've done this on many a vehicle with great results. You can get the studs pressed in at nearly any shop with a press, or now you have an excuse to buy your own press.

*Not a recommended install, but I've broken studs in the mountains before and pulled them on by stacking washers and cranking down the on the lug to pull it to seat.
