Longer stud bolts

[Hailcesar75]

Alot of members have been asking me where to get longer stud bolts. I also remember what a ***** it was to find info on the stud size and where to get them.

So I decided to post some pics of the longer stud bolts I used for my spacers. You'll see in these pics why you need them when you use spacers.

Here's the comparison



In this pic you see how much more thread the bolt on the left has than the stock bolt on the right. Exactly 1/2 inch more thread



Here is what the bottom looks like. When changing bolts, you should hammer in at least half of the vertical threads in to the hub before using an open end bolt to fully get them in. If you don't you'll strip the thread



Hopefully this helps y'all wanting to use spacers
Here's where I bought them

Are they hard to install?

[Hailcesar75]

The fronts are easy. The rear is a pain cuz the whole axle has to be taken apart. I'm rear discs btw

[arman14]

Oh yeah
I have drums
Did you also get longer nuts?

[Hailcesar75]

No the stock bolt nuts are fine

[arman14]

Oh great
I might get 12mm spacers

[Hailcesar75]

Are you gonna get longer bolts?

[arman14]

I bought some 12x1.5 on ebay, I think those should work fine.

[Hailcesar75]

Wait...... 12x1.5 bolt nuts?

[arman14]
