what tools needed for lift

[jrogers]

Anybody know off hand what size sockets and wrenches I will need for installing a lift? My keys for my toolbox are at work and I really don't want to drive and hour and a half one way just for a key so I'm gonna run to auto zone and pick up a few sockets and wrenches to get everything apart. Main ones I need to know are ball joint nut, strut fork bottom bolt and top bolt and sway bar. If anybody knows these sizes I'd really appreciate it

Pliers/ side cuts / ?? to remove cotter pins if you have any
Pretty much covers everything to remove caliper/ tie rods / sway bar / UCA etc
I never look I guess , just know from doing it so many times what it takes and never think

And nobody mentions torque wrenches?? BTW do make sure your hammer is metric. Those SAE ones don't fit.

Not totally necessary, but a cold 12-pack of adult beverage helps the parts fit together better...

Nope doesn't help, never drink until the job is done, then you set back and let the shine flow

Still haven't got around to putting the lift on. Had a wonderful issue with a septic tank so my whole weekend was pretty crappy to say the least lol. Did end up getting my new tires put on and luckily under normal driving and having pounded pinch welds the 245/75's do not rub any whatsoever. Now flexed would be a different story. Do have to say though I am very impressed with how these courser mxt's ride.
