I just received my 2" AS kit Tuesday and will be installing today. The (6) nuts are 10mm-1.5 and are nylon locknuts without flat washers. Be careful about using poor quality hardware at this location. Nuts should be grade 8.8.

Finished installing my AS 2" leveling kit in about 1 hour 45 minutes, working by myself in the driveway. Only used air tools for the lower strut bolt/nut.

By the way, the proper size wrench for the lower strut bolt is 27mm, although a 1 1/16 wrench will work as well.

Tomorrow I'm off to the alignment shop

I still going with 17mm for the 2 1/2" kit. Might want to take one of the spacers to the hardware store when you go.

The wrench that is used on the nut is 17mm, but the stud size is 10mm - 1.50

so a 17mm nut will be way too big and will require like a 24mm wrench or something like that...my bad!!!!!!
