12 point head studs FTW! Been there done that with the head bolts those things suck, especially when trying not to FUBAR them while pulling them out in the truck. You can get 12 point studs form Richard at WCCH for 229(cheapest place I found).

They don't suck. They will handle more than enough than what alot of these guys are going to use them for. Just quit trying to be John Force and ****!! LOL!!

My point wasnt that they arent strong enough just that they are hard to remove without screwing up the heads of the bolts.
