I'd like to know the proper part length also. I picked up a set at 
NAPA yesterday.. I planned to press in a  set this weekend for my 
front discs that will soon sport the Warn hub conversion kit.

I was also wondering if I would be better getting something a bit 
more trick, possibly something from the JEGs catalog.

I am not sure what to look for in a wheel stud?
