Sierra fronts are a bit longer
But for longer studs Yukspeed is a good source.

One thing to watch for with these aftermarket studs is the longer shoulder area. I found that my RS2000 wheels with the flange nuts bottomed out
before the wheels were tight. At the front I had to swap them for original Sierra studs and I've fitted a 3mm spacer to the rears. The fronts
are worse because there is no drum or disc fitting over the studs before the wheel goes on. If you are not fitting spacers I'd stick with Ford
studs for the fronts.

I think with my wheels on the stud will take about 2 threads of the nut.

I meant the longer Sierra studs. If your wheels have a thick centre then you should be okay with the aftermarket studs.

 where did my post go?
that's right; I got some from RD but really wanted standard ones (should have tried Ford) ... but anyway I turned them down using a drill and
angle grinder then continued the thread with a die.
When you fit them, use a wheel as a puller by doing up the wheel nuts. If you use a vice to press them in, they may not go in straight so the wheel
won't fit, ask me how I found that out
