What's the best way to transition conduit from a 2" LB straight up to a sub panel mounted between 2 x 4 studs?

The 2nd LB sticks out past the width of the wall studs

The stub is a great idea but the exterior LB is already installed near ground level. Any other ideas?

You can't bury an LB cover behind sheetrock anyway, it has to be accessible without removing the building finish to get to it.

Two ways:

1. Run up the exterior wall and LB into the back of the panel. Simple and clean.

2. LB from outside into a j-box down low inside, with the cover of the box coming through the sheetrock and ****** out of it up into the panel.

Just as Aceman said, you can't cover a LB or j-box. I used two 2" LB's back to back and cut the sheet rock around the LB cover and left it exposed.
