Default Spindle nut

Hi, I had my '23 XLT leveled with 2" rough country leveling kit(2" spacers above the strut tower). It's been making clunking noises when turning the steering wheel at slow speeds. I have decided to take them out and put in rough country M1 loaded strut pair adjustable max 3". Does anyone know what the part number is for the spindle/axle nut for my truck? I know it requires a 36mm socket to remove and not be reused. Also, can someone confirm the torque setting of 258lbs./ft? Thanks in advance.

Ted

I plan on adjusting the M1's to 2.5". I have read that this is the max height before the CV joints are affected. Can someone confirm this as well? Thanks.
