Please say your kidding.

Why don't you go buy a good SET of tools so you wont have to run back and forth?

hes right, i had to make several trips to lowes to get diff. sockets. the sizes i needed are too big to be found in normal socket sets. i even bought an oversize set and still needed to go back afterward. and sorry cant help ya with the sizes, dont have my tools here. all i can say is go ahead and invest in a good large size set with all the in-between sizes...

My instructions list a 30mm nut and a 27mm bolt. That is for a 4x4, though. Probably the same for a 4x2.
Good Luck and don't be shy with the pics. (which are required by the way.)

Because I dont want to cut them and make my truck immobile soo Its til next weekend but if anyone knows anything about the three bolts that hold your Strut up Please share!!
