Thanks again, Goose and Camper Bob, my stainless steel Gorilla Lugs are mounted and lookin' good. They're advertized as the last lugs you'll have to buy--We'll see. Hope so! The size, #61188, is a good fit. The Gorilla #61187 are the same sized lugs in a 4 pack. I was lucky enough to get some Amazon (used/returned but perfect) ones for $3.00 each pack-regular $13.82 each pack.

Your welcome. Are they anything like Prairie Oysters?

Holy smokes, Camper Bob, way to delve into things. Your grandfather musta been Sherlock Holmes. I've had some Gorilla lugs before, and they're good stuff. Great job!

OK. I called FR and they confirmed that on my HRE edition I would be getting a Lippert axle. However FR was concerned that replacing the lug nuts might invalidate the warranty from Lippert. Next call was to Lippert and they were not concerned at all about changing lug nuts. Then called Gorilla Lug Nuts in L.A. and they recommended a 61188 part number. They are SS and have a lifetime warranty. Their retail price is about 3.58 per nut. Went to Amazon and they don't seem to have the 61188. Then Googled the number and was able to purchase them from Brandsport.com for $2.53 each. There, you have it. Hope that helps.

I'd like to add ...that an "impact" socket is the best way to go. It is a 12 point socket and makes a more secure lock on the lug nut.

Hey Goose, thanks for the lug specs. The thread size is what I needed to make a raid on Amazon for the stainless steel ones.

Sorry that I did not think of this earlier, I just went out and pulled up the cover to get into the sidebox where I have a package of locking lug nuts. The size is " 1/2-20, tapered seat ". 1/2 inch stud with a standard thread count of 20 threads per inch and a tapered seat. Make sure that you do not pick up a mm size for foreign cars.
Why I have locking lug nuts (one on each wheel) is another story. I would not think that there would be any difference in size between the Dexter or Lippert axles. I do have a Dexter. Goose
