Thank you for checking

I have been searching here and other places. I have not found any mention of any part numbers, places offering for sale, or anyone actually doing them. I was looking for a longer stud and have not found anything but a standard replacement from Dorman. Is it not something that is done? Thanks

I posted this in another thread but thought it might be easier for someone searching in the future to find in a thread specifically about this. I recently swapped axles in a 7.25 rear from being 4” bolt pattern to 4.5” using axles and drums that I bought from Doctor Diff. The axles have the 4...
