Where Can I Find Longer Wheel Studs

Just lifted my 03 f150 2wd with 3.5" spindles an a 2" block, and the front wheels stick out about an inch farther than the rear. Does anyone know where I can buy longer wheel studs so I can safely use a wheel spacer?

Thanks

You don't want to do that. If you decide to use a spacer, get the type that have studs mounted in them. Basically they bolt onto the hub and then the wheel bolts onto the spacer.

Ok, I have seen those and wasnt sure about them but you seem to be the guy to go to for wheel related ?s. So would a set 1.50" wide be a reletively safe option? I dont do any offroading and rarely haul
anything heavier than my dirtbike in the bed.

Thanks

They are not usually a good idea. But since you are only using them on the rear you should be fine.
