Cool Broken Wheel Studs

I have a 97 F-150 with a 6inch sus. lift and 3in body lift. I have had on a couple occasions now all five wheel studs break off while driving, it starts with wobbling and then bam, they are broke, and it isnt a hard fix but just a pain in the *** and I don't understand why this is happening, I go 4Xing in it, and try to get allignments done so often, one person told me the camber is off. Please help... Thanks

Thats strange for sure. You have the right bolt pattern and studs on your rims right?

Do you have the '99+ 14mm stud hole rims? If they got loose at all those could contribute, since your studs are 12mm. Every time I have heard of this happening it has been with a truck with bigger tires and a lift, could just be coincidence.

Are they torqued to spec... that would be the first thing i would check.. to loose and they begin to wobble... to tight and they weaken the studys severly...
