Default Trailer Hitch Socket Size

Hi, I want to take off my Stock Trailer hitch from my 01 F150. I don't have access to large sockets so I need to go out and buy one. Can anyone tell me what the size is so I can pick up the right one the first time? I also want to remove the tow strap anchors from the front of the truck and paint them up nice. Is this the same size socket?

Thanks,

Jeff

Just go take a crescent wrench, tighten it up on the bolt as if you were to undo them. Remove the wrench and measure the distance. You have your exact size.
