I buy my lug nuts through a big-rig supply house...they sell them bulk.

Bring a sample of your lug nut as there's a ton of different styles for different wheels.

Thanks for the help. Where do I find a big rig supply house near Los Angeles, CA?

Also, one of my lug nuts is longer than all the other ones. I don't have the truck or else I would take a picture. All the other lug's are the "normal" ones, then one the drivers side rear wheel is one lug that sticks out a few inches. Is this just an extended lug nut?

There are some other specs as well, IIRC our lug nuts are 60 degree conical seats, but maybe not for 3/4 ton
