What size wrench/socket for rear shocks?

I have some easter help coming over today that will swap out my rear shocks. I'm not able to get under there yet to fit the wrenches and would like to have stuff ready when they get here. Thanks!

My 2nd gen needs a 21mm for both the bolts and the nuts. Your 3rd gen might be different, but I'm the only one to reply so far.

Thanks. That gives me a range to have ready. I think it may be the same and will post afterwards.

Once the guests arrived and got the aroma of the turkey...nuttin happened.

Just as well. It was better to visit with the whole clan then to hide in the garage. At least with this side of the clan.

Will try and reschedule this coming wknd.

13/16 or 21. SAE fits better.

I read this the day of, but it was raining cats and dogs and it was in the afternoon so I figured Scott that you were already under there working.

I couldn't figure this out. I thought maybe your truck was in a public parking lot or somewhere you couldn't get to it to work on.




I gotta get new rear shocks on mine. Bring yours down and we'll get em both done.
