Socket size?

Hi all,

What size sockets are required for a suspension lift from start to finish? I’ll be leveling a 2015 RWD...just want to make sure I’m prepared before pulling wheels off.

Thanks!

To be prepared you should have a full set of deep sockets in both metric and standard.

Depending on what leveling kit you get, also:
14mm (9/16), 17mm, or 19mm (3/4) for new top nuts.

Thanks

thanks for the replies everyone! It went pretty smoothly, but had to replace air compressor half way through 🙃. Also, the rental spring compressor from Advanced had seen a LOT of use...it was difficult to use since it was so bent
