Wheel stud failure

We recently had all 8 wheel studs on the RR of our 2015 3160 sheer, releasing the wheel to do some significant body damage. Upon close inspection of the fracture lines, it was clear they all failed at the same time, or nearly the same time. All fractures looked clean. (The wheel was professionally installed three years ago and never removed since. Torqued to 110.)

I've never heard of this happening nor has our wheel/tire guy. Anyone else?

The only other thing that may enter into the question is that we recently purchased a new 4WD Ram pickup which is a good bit higher than our old 2WD Ram. This results in a SLIGHTLY higher front end than previously. The front is only about 2 inches higher than the back. I can't see how this small difference would cause the problem. I only mention it because it is the only change in setup.

Any sage wisdom out there?

Thanks.
