Default Longer wheel studs?

I need longer studs on my jeep Cherokee, I only get about 3 threads on the lugs so it's pretty sketchy. Any one have good advice on where to get some? Preferably a link or parts number? Thank you!

Welcome to the forum. You need to post details about your Cherokee in order for people to help you. Year, trim, lift etc plus maybe some details about your wheels.

I'm guessing that you are referring to the rear? You can replace them with studs from a ZJ with rear disc's or use some from the front of a ZJ or XJ. These are longer than the rear studs with drums.

I have the same problem. I had some factory steel wheels and replaced them with some factory aluminum wheels and studs seemed a little short. Scares me a bit.

^^ ZJ studs are the easiest way to go...
I think these were the ones I bought...http://www.4wheelparts.com/Drivetrai...&ppcfon=1&gp=1

Sorry about not leaving a description, it's a 98 xj sport 3.5 inch lift with 31x10.5 tires. The studs are short all the way around actually. Still not really sure what to do about it? Can I just buy extended studs somewhere or is it more complicated than that? Thanks

So will any of these fit? As long as the diameter and thread size are the same? Also is pitch the same thing as thread size and knurl the same thing as diameter? I've heard both interchanged.
