Psycked
Am a little worried on how far out they stick out. Seems like they are just waiting to be rubbed off by a rock. Definitely pretty tough looking!

I imagine that the hex side is on the outside for torqueing into the hub. Right?
Correct, works nice.
Yeah, so you can put a socket on them and run them down until they bottom out.
Clean the female threads in the hubs out with some brake clean, compressed air, and a thread chaser or bottom tap, then put some lock-tite (red) on the stud threads.
How is that different than just stacking two nuts on the stud?
Out come is the same, just easier and they are hardened studs. You don't have to worry about the stud loosening while trying to undo the two nuts.
If you had the option between the two, why would you want to screw around stacking nuts?
Or here, let me rephrase that -
About six less steps.

I'm probably not in a hurry. Can I get hardened studs that don't have the hex drive on top? That are about an inch shorter?
I don't mind stacking nuts to get something that fits better.
Cut them off flush with the nuts? Like U-bolts...
