Not sure how long you would need, but I just changed my studs out this past wkend. Not hard at all, just get some PB blaster and use a sledgehammer and knock them loose. I didn't have access to an impact gun, so I just used a breaker bar and a nut with grade 8 washer.

Too find out what size you need just measure the thickness of the flange on your rims and add about 1/2" so the stud fully engages the hex portion of the lug nut

Stock studs are 1.5". You can get ARP studs in 2.5" (what I have) or 3.25", which cost about twice as much as the 2.5". You can get them at www.thunderracing.com.

Should I put the same size all around or have longer in the rear I don't want them to hang to far out the lugs?
