I did find them to be quite a bit longer than stock bolts and with a six point head rather than twelve point heads. I did not use them in the end.
There are 3 bolts included in the package.

In other words, 3 bolts are covered by the price. Thus, I now have 3 sets in reserve. I ended up using the ones I had from before since they arrived a day later than expected. As soon as it is time for new hubs (I am sure it will be soon), I will replace the old ones. There is no comparison in terms of price or If you're doing hubs or removing hubs so you can service other components, keep these points It would be a good thing to have them in case one (or more) of the old ones broke down late on a Saturday night, the night before you had to use the vehicle.
An extra few words would be nice. I'm glad I chose these replacement bolts because they have an improved 6 point design over the original 12. As they should, they fit well. One thing that was a little odd is the ends are about one eighth inch apart The original was 1/4 in longer, and it came very close to touching the back of the wheel stud it was easy to take it off. Cut the end off and remove the wheel, but let others know that this issue exists if another end is cut off It is not possible to use the off wheel.
Bolts from the factory have 12 point heads, these have 6 point heads. My bolts are longer than stock to the point where I didn't feel comfortable installing them, as I could still use In the event you ever need them, they will work, but since I had an intact set of stock bolts, I reused those instead, and kept these in my spare parts collection.
I was trying to find a good replacement for the oem bolts that I stripped. After finding these and reading others' reviews about the bolts being longer than OEM, I decided to order them. In my case, this was true, after installing them, however, there was still a Throw a lot of Sieze on them when you install them.
Do you know whose idea it was to use 12 pt? I like how well they fit. They are longer as some say, but no interference is present. A torque of 75 ft-lbs should be used.
Since they are longer than stock, and have a 12mm head, a 3/8" drive socket will be required to use these, forcing a size up when the torque wrench is used, and I don't have enough room on the center bolt to do that. I returned them.
It was too long to tighten, and once tightened to torque specification, I felt interference might occur. The two are incompatible.
It has held up well so far, no issues with installation. It's great that this is a six point head as opposed to the stock 12 point head. I'm blaming the guy who had the Jeep before me for how he stripped it! of the bolts in the stock package were broken so these were a welcome.
