These lug nuts will not fit the factory lug wrench, has anyone seen an adapter that could be left in the truck that would allow the use of the factory wrench? Thanks

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks! Happen to have a part number?

Pretty big discussion on bulge lug nuts on this forum...in general, the McGards were considered the best with Gorillas 2nd ( a few people noted some issues including one fracture) and Stock pretty much crap. Here’s the best prices i’ve found for each. McGards will run you $114 for 6 sets of 4. Gorillas $83

Yep, that's pretty much what I've seen also (McGard #1, Gorillas #2).

I have an Amazon gift card, so was hoping to buy them from there...any idea if these Gorillas will work? They say 14x1.50mm, and a 60 degree conical seat, so it looks like they should, but Amazon says they don't fit my truck (wouldn't be the first time it was wrong, though):

And yes, I realize I'd have to buy 6 sets, but it's still ~$20 cheaper than the CJPonyParts link...

In fact, looking at the Gorilla website, I just found the following info for the 91147BCB (the link I provided) and the 61147BCX (the factory style link that you sent). Looks like they're a bit shorter, and maybe not quite as much contact area. I wonder if it's just worth the extra money (and not being able to use my gift card) and get the factory style lug nuts...

I plan on getting the McGards, based on the folks on these forums.

If you want to save a little over 30 bucks, I’d get the Gorillas from CJ’s instead of taking a risk on the non-factory style.

Just my 2c.

I bought a folding 4-way with a 22mm and stuck it behind the seat.

A quick follow up... here’s a couple of pics of the folding four way from HF. All tucked away and no issues putting the seat back up.
