Installed them and they are short, so I went looking for longer studs with the same diameter knurl and found this, which is .375 longer. depending on where I look it up(Dorman 610-073):

I didn't want to convert to the larger studs, so, It looks like these will work, assuming I can press .249" more knurl in the hub.
Did you look at doing something like this? |
Hi Jason,
I actually ended up going back to the original closed knuckle dana 44 for the front and I stayed with the HO52 on the rear. After doing a bit of research, I found that the Dorman 610181 studs worked for the front, and the Dorman 610188 studs worked for the rear. The knurl for the original 1/2" studs on my truck were .625". The 610181 studs were .623" and the 610188 studs were .620", all of which allowed for me to upgrade my 1/2" studs to 9/16" studs without having to drill anything at all. I was able to simply press the new studs in.
