x3. There's no need for an upgrade. Torque them to 100ft-lbs or so. Let me guess, they were installed with an impact gun?
I'm personally very careful about my wheel studs, and lug nuts. Never had a problem hand torque them to 110ft/lb. I did have to replace the rear studs with longer ones when I did disc brakes but that has nothing to do with strength.
No wheel spacers, I think I may have under torqued them and the lugs came loose and the wheel wobbling snapped the studs
either way too tight or too loose can do it. I torque mine to 110 never had a problem. And I bought my torque wrench from harbor freight for $11. Cheap insurance if you ask me.

Next wheeling trip I plan to bring a spare set of studs and lugs for back up just in case torquing them fails
Click style torque wrench is a PIA for wheels.
Torque the lug nuts with the vehicle on the ground starting from hand tight in a star pattern in 3 intervals of 30, 70 and finally 100 ft lbs. Re-torque after about 500 miles
If you run bigger studs you would have to buy new rims tho,Like said standard lugs are fine was probably a lug nut torque problem.And don't use those cheapo chrome lug nuts you find at any auto parts store.
