Longer wheel studs

Hi Guys

Iv installed the CPP brake kit and switched to a 5x5 setup then used an adapter to a 5x4.75 setup however the CPP 5 lug axle studs are too short for safe daily use.

Iv asked CPP for specs of the studs and here is their reply:
"Dorman 610-258 1/2-20 Serrated Wheel Stud - .536 In. Knurl, 1-23/32 In. Length"

Now, I can't find anything with a .536" Kurl thats longer than 1-23/32. I was reading on other forums and somebody recommended this, DORMAN 610298

Dorman 610-258 vs Dorman 610-298

Head Diameter 0.656 vs 0.735
Knurl Diameter 0.536 vs 0.55
Shoulder Length 0.25 vs 0.688
Thread Length 1.391 vs 1.117
Under Head Length 1.719 vs 2.04

Does it work? does anybody else have any other experiences?

Thanks

Re: Longer wheel studs

My Camaro project wheel studs were over a inch to short for my new style of wheels.

I called summit, and they set me up with a longer set. You will have to run some Emery cloth in there to open them up a few thousands of a inch.

You want it a bit tight so when you press it in it stays. If not you may have to tack weld them from behind

I have bought them at O-Riellys. They have several sizes.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
