Appreciate the confirmation of thickness and yes, I would never use screws longer than the overall depth of the anchor.

You might reconsider before throwing that 4" deck screw out the window. I've found overkill comes in handy sometimes; that 2" sticking through the exterior wall can be covered with little rubber covers and used to hand hats, raingear, puppy leashes etc. Pretty handy....maybe. Sort of like the guy that decided he would do his own bathroom remodel on the mountain house we bought (unbeknownst to us). Although he owned the local Ace Hardware store apparently the only thing he had, or knew how to use, was a 22 oz. framing hammer and 16 penny nails, no matter how small the job. And, that hammer, he thought, was much better at smashing out holes in the sheetrock for access than trying to make measured cuts... All tongue in cheek of course.
