3/4 ton wheel stud?

[TJ1978]

@frankin5 was trying to assist me in figuring out a longer wheel stud in the event my new Pro comp wheels do not provide enough engagement for the studs.

I am confused as usual.

From what he says I have this on the front axles now
98718.1
9/16-18 Serrated Wheel Stud - .625 In. Knurl, 2-1/8 In. Length
...
So I searched Dormans site from a longer wheel stud and honestly they all look like they would work. But I’m confident that isn’t true.

I don’t know which stud to get that is a bit longer for the front and for the rear drum brakes to provide more engagement on the stud.

I get what he is saying where the serrated part engages the flange. But I just don’t see what stud is longer. 2 3/4? 2 5/32 or 2 17/32? I’m not understating.

The lengths you are giving are total length of stud. You need to look at the length of stud required to go thru hub,location of knurl and then what is the length of the threaded length as shown in specs.

Right and when I search for “.625” knurl the only size that some up is 2 1/8 length. I cannot find a .625 knurl with a longer length to provide more lug nut engagement. Unless the pic below works on Droman site it says Ford and Dodge...I suck at fractions which isn’t helping me.

I’m trying but I cannot find it. I’m using 3 different search engines.

This?

No you need the knurl part .906" out so it is pressed into the hub.

You do have enough stud. This is a non issue. The lug seat is recessed into the hub face. You need 9/16 of thread engagement of your lug nut to have sufficient clamping force. There will be PLENTY.

Shit... I’ve been going nuts for no reason. Thank you.
Maybe I miss understood or overreacted to a comment in another thread saying, my wheels may not have enough thread engagement with my aftermarket wheels. Anyway
Moving on, thank you

I know you figured this out but I thought I would throw my 2 cents in. I had some Panther(?) brand aluminum wheels that were really thick and required longer wheel studs. I just went to the parts store and ordered some for a dually squarebody rear axle with the same 9/16" studs. Plenty long. I can't remember though but I think my front ones came from Carquest and they had a longer shoulder that was not threaded and my rears came from Napa and were threaded all the way down to the knurl. When I later switched to plain steel wheels which were thinner I had to run a die down to the hub face on the front studs to add that last little bit of threads. I am running the long chrome lugs nuts and they have enough length to thread down all the way no matter what wheel.
