super duty head studs

Do you have PMR's in your truck? Wouldn't you toss a rod before you blow a headgasket?

Ok so can you do em without pulling the heads? I've heard both ways. I want to do it right but if I don't need to pull heads I don't want ti

You can do both without pulling the heads. With the motor in the truck. You will have to rock the motor to one side and then the other, but that is no big deal. Replace one bolt at a time, pull bolt, istall stud and torque it down. For the springs, if your compressor has the star wheel on it, you will need to remove that star wheel and weld a nut on it. I welded a flanged nut on mine, makes it a lot easier.

Well that supports the argument that ARP's are more than strong enough.

I'm just saying, if stock bolts with proper tuning will hold to 500hp, ARP's are more than enough.
