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

8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 15mm, 18mm, 21mm, 27mm
Depending on what leveling kit you get, also:
14mm (9/16), 17mm, or 19mm (3/4) for new top nuts.

A ratcheting 14 for the top nuts will make your life 10x better.

Default 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

Don't forget the impact gun. Makes things so much easier and faster.
