1/2 Ton 2WD Front Shocks

Anybody able to tell me the list of wrench/socket sizes to replace the front shocks/mounting studs?

Buddy, it's just a guess from experience, and not 100% certain, but I recall 3/4 and 11/16 being needed to replace shocks in most cases.

Oh, and I've seen different brands use a 13/16 on the other side of the frame stud, so if you have those 3 size wrenches, you should be good to go IIRC.

Thanks, I was thinking about picking up a set of shocks and installing them over the weekend. Do it at work in one of the bays. So I need to grab what tools I think I will need. I need to get the **** out of the house and do some wrenching before I lose my mind.

No ****. Cabin Fever and knowing I have so damn much to do is killing me. I have **** I need to get off the scrap pile and get that **** over the scale. I need the cash too ASAP. Fukin back is killing me. I'm just hoping it's the cold and I didn't way over due it stripping those trucks. Kinda scary really cuz this **** is getting excruciating and it's been going on for to many days straight to be my norm and my candy isn't helping much at all. yeah, I need some warmer weather and go try to do something and see if I can work this out or walk it off.

have you considered a chiropractor? I was skeptical but wife made me go and after about 5 visits my old football knee from HS was cured. I can squat down and play with my son now! I go once a month for realignment and other adjustments. The fibula in my left leg was twisting and I had pain on the back of my knee for years but not now!

There's only 2 kind of Chiropractors. The kind will take my money and just stretch me out which I can do at home, and the honest kind that after they read my MRI report, won't touch me with not only much they can do, but fear making me worse off.
