I don't think you snapped them because of power, but to answer your question:

You'd need a lot. The front steering knuckles, possible with custom 1/2 shafts because I don't know if our spline is the same as yours. you'd have to do the same to the back, and then replace all brake components too.

It would be a huge undertaking.

yeah the power didnt snap them ....i went to where my wheel actually fell off...and i looked for the studs ...i found one and what it looks like happened is when i rotated the tires last the tech. must of over tightened them bc they looked really stretched.....

so my solution now is someone told me to buy circle track...((nascar mini-stock 4 cyl.))...race car studs...he said you can tighten them as tight as you want and they wont stretch or twist....but the only prob with it is that they are 20 a piece... and ill have to buy lugnuts (($4 a lug for the locking lugs)) bc the studs are a lil bit longer than stock...

I thought the spline count was found to be the same? Can anyone confirm either way?
