    Try ARP, they're known for making super strong heat-treated fasteners - like wheel studs and head bolts, etc. Sold by a plethora of vendors online, like ARP, Amazon, Summit, Jegs, etc etc.

    IIRC stock specs for Toyota pickup wheel studs are 12mm x 1.5", so get the extended version if you want longer. Might even find these at your local auto parts store.

    I'd personally get new lugs if buying new studs - so the thread pitch matches perfectly. With time and repeat torqueing the pitch may stretch a tad.

    4x4 Toyota pickups have longer studs if you need just a touch longer.

    Not sure what year your truck is or if it uses the same as my 88,but when I changed the brakes front & rear I needed longer studs by a 1/4'', used Dorman 12mm x 45mm 14.27 knurled end 10mm shaft ( stock was 37mm)
    Any good auto parts store should have them!
