I'm thinking that putting some ARP studs in the Full Float Rear axle would be a good idea, just in case. I'll be replacing the studs either way (with new Toyota, or ARP).
I'm looking at this setup:

The ONLY concern I have with this for the FF axle is the length of the studs. Are they significantly longer than the Toyota studs? Since the FF hub already sticks out pretty far from the center of the wheel, I'd be worried about extending the length of the studs much, in case they invite too many rocks to hit them.
Am I off base here? I put this in the "hardcore" section because I figured you guys might know more about these than I do, and while I don't do "hardcore" wheeling, I definitely worry about bouncing along and coming back down on the rear axle under load and shearing the studs, and I'm going to replace the studs either way. I'm not worried about the front axle really, it's more a worry for the rear axle when I'm in 2WD and driving up the road to my property (it's steep, rocky, and bumpy--and I'd worry that someday I might be hauling a very heavy load and could damage the studs).
Thoughts? Pictures?
