Looking for replacement wheel studs for my Ranger trailer. I called Ranger parts department and they are out of stock. I’ve googled a few places but can’t find replacement studs that will work on my trailer.

Year and model, just in case?

It’s a 2012 year trailer, I don’t have the model number.
If you can take another one out and go to a decent auto parts supply shop. There are literally 1000s of different sizes many of which are very close in size and thread but different. Younger and dumber on a 1998 trailer, I remember trying to drive a bad stud out with a hammer - on that trailer they're threaded through the rotor!

There is a very good chance that the stud used in 2012 is still being used on current Ranger trailers. [A supposition that could be confirmed by asking a Ranger dealer to compare part numbers.] There’s also a good chance that some Ranger dealers carry studs in stock. My own Ranger dealer, for instance [Knox Marine in Fredericktown, OH] is always happy to assist with questions like this. And a Ranger dealer anywhere within a thousand miles could ship you a small item like that just as quickly and economically as the factory could. Eastern Marine, which advertises as the Trailer Superstore, would be another good check. And if the part is currently used, EZ Loader would be another. Good luck.

They are really hard to match up. As John suggested, local dealer. I got mine from Knox Marine....not sure if they ship. Few years ago had new tires put on and the shop broke 3 lugs off one wheel. Long story short, I drove to 4 or 5 auto stores trying to match them up and even studs that looked close ended up not fitting right.
To follow up, Bob, Knox ships parts everywhere in the U.S. One previous referral of mine from Washington state has now successfully ordered parts from them on multiple occasions. I’m sure that most Ranger dealers do likewise. They send out USPS shipments every morning.

Go drive one out. Take it to NAPA. Have them match it up. They have books full of studs. I’ve also found carquest helpful.
You will need replacement studs for a DB-35 hub, if it’s a 2012 trailer. I would knock one out and take it to an old school auto parts store and match it up.
