Re: Longer wheel studs dana 60?

I cut down a set of dually hubs, I tried the dorman # 610 - 303 (3 inch) but had interference fit issues. I then went back to the stock ones Dorman part # 610 - 283 ( 2.5 ish) and they fit great. According to the specs on pirate http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billav...ont/index.html what I said does not make sense, but its what I ran into. When I drilled out the stud hole, (duallys are threaded) I may of went slightly oversize.
