I’m putting in new locking hubs and have OEM studs/washers/nuts but want to confirm the correct orientation of how they go into the hub body: short threads into the hub or long threads into the hub?

Thanks. So the end with the green stuff gets the nuts & washers? Lining them up, it looks like the end of the stud will be just about flush with the nut when torqued down.
Sorry to be overthinking this, I initially got an aftermarket set from cruiser outfitters which there were issues with (lesson learned).
The OEM replacement studs they sent look different than both what were on the truck originally and the aftermarket set.
The ones on the right are diff studs for the 3rd member. They go in with the sealant on the housing side. Maybe they are selling them as hub studs? IDK. You’d have to check with Cruiser Outfitters.
The OEM studs are 90116-08325. The ones on the left. They go in long side in to the hub assembly.

I’m not sure what you are not understanding: those are diff studs: for the differential assembly to the axle housing.
Not front hub studs.
Call Cruiser Outfitters and ask them how they are installed if you can’t figure it out.

I understand, Onur. It was a link to what they sent me as an OEM replacement for the first set. Thanks for clarifying.

Per Cruiser Outfitters:
Onward!
Studs went in cleanly and with no problems.
