well i tried it this morning and it was pretty simple. my stud is long enough. shorter by alittle less than 1/2 inch but its ok… cuz the stock studs just have a unthreaded shaft as the extra 1/2 inch. it has plenty of thread to lock up the nut to so i’ll be fine now i just need to get the old stud out of the stock lug nut. that will be a bitch and a half but oh well. ---
