Hey guys, I bought my 2016 Laramie and it has these wheel locks on it, I believe they’re McGard. Do they appear to be too long? All other wheel locks I’ve had sat further in than the lug nuts, these sit about 1/2” past the lug nuts? Looks like someone could get them off with a pipe wrench. Thoughts, suggestions for a lower profile lock? Thanks All.

Looks to be the same length as my 2013 Ram that I had, as long as they seat in the conical end of the wheel, should be good to go.

Those are sticking out way to much, channel locks can take them off Put some McGard wheel locks on it they are the right size for your truck.

Those are the OEM ones. They suck and they are so damn ugly! Get some Gorillas or another name brand set if you want to run locking lug nuts.
