Wheel studs for rear disk brake conversion

I am installing my right stuff rear disk brake kit on my 8 3/4 and it appears that the factor drum brake studs have a shoulder that is holding the caliper off the axle flange and not letting it seat. Are different studs needed for a disk brake conversion?

Yes, there are different studs for drums and disk brake conversions.

DoctorDiff has disk studs for his rear disk conversion kits, they may work with the other kits out there. You might try contacting him.
