So the truck I picked up awhile ago has some interesting design choices that I'm not sure why they were made however one was 11/16ths wheel studs. It's a Dana 44 5x5.5 front end and a 9 inch rear. The reason this is an issue now is I'm looking into spare rims and a 35 spline rear end.
I've only ever seen 5/8th studs available. Converting my set up to 5/8ths makes my current rims on the truck useless and means I'll have to get an additional set of rims to the spares to have a set on the truck and a set to swap to. Will 11/16th studs be a problem on most after market hubs?
If that's a problem, is it possible to run 35 spline axles in a Ford 9 inch housing? OD of the housing is 3 1/4" if that helps determine which housing I have. I know they made a lot of variations of it. If someone has a good source of information on the 9 inch rear housing variances I'd appreciate it.
Forgot to mention I plan on running a strange 35 spline spool and believe I'd have to replace that anyway if I tried putting 35 spline axles in the truck.
