Thats dope!

Is it true that the ARP studs are harder to install because they are a little bigger than the stock ones?

bigger or longer?? if it was bigger than, how will it fit into your hub then yo *hammer on the head* (since i cant seem to find that icon).. just need the hub puller, if you wanna buy you can, or just go to autozone kragen pepboys and borrow. you give them money and they give money back when you return the item. (just in case if youre gonna ask bout that but i assume you already know)

I'm a Skunk2 ***** but to be honest one of them broke already and had to be replaced so I would suggest the ARP.

I have ARP and love em. On the other hand I know people who have had bad experiences with the skunk brand.

that's one reason...but it's the least reason why you need to use extended wheel studs...

Main reason that they use them is for safety. Think about it, if your lug nuts come loose on an extended stud, it'll take a while for that lug nut to come off the thread since they are longer. Compare that to a stock length stud...well, you get the idea
