My Bilstein 4600's came in yesterday, so this weekend I'm planning to install them on the front. I want to make sure that I have the right tools before I start tearing into my truck. What size wrenches and sockets will I need to complete my front shock install? I have a 2000 F150 Scab 4x4 5.4 Thanks.

 

A normal socket set and wrench set will have the right sizes. Metric set is needed. Not too hard to figure out the size when looking at the nuts. You could have an odd size on there if they've already been replaced.

If it doesn't fit, go bigger. If you can't get it on the nut, go smaller.

They will be in between a 13 and 18mm.

 

I looked it up and it's 14mm on the top nut and 18mm on the lower for the rears.
