It's funny that you used 2x4-8 as your example for length, because a 2x4-8 stud is not actually 8 foot. If you're looking for 8 foot 2x4, you need to be careful that you are buying true 8 foot boards, and not 8 foot studs.
That being said, that's the only board I'm familiar with that has a length that's not always true length
Oh, that is funny. Are the studs 7'9" so a board below and above them are 8' total?
Hah, stud
