nice truck, are those your stock tires in the pics? just wondering because my stock goodyears are suppose to be 31.8 and the tires in the pic dont look much bigger,

 

Those were new Nitto Terra Graplers. 285/65 18 on stock rims.

I just had them rotated and balanced yesterday, good tread left at 45k miles.

 

Dang, I got nuttin' in the way of metric. Thought I'd have at least some of what I need.
My socket set ends at 17mm and all the larger metric sockets I have are either too big or not deep.

According to the dirstructions I'll have to buy these sockets:
21mm
30mm (assuming deep from the reading the posts)
and a 27mm open end wrench.

I have lots of big *** hammers and vice grips.

Does the 1-1/2 combo wrench do the work of the 27mm?

Looks like its time to tool-up for metric.

 

when i did mine, i used standard wrenches/sockets and didnt strip anything, when going that big there is a differences but it's pretty slight, so if your going to use the big metric stuff again, i'd say go buy it, but if not make what you have work

 

Ford finally went 99% Metric with the 04+ models. I remember working on my 98 and it being 1/2 standard and 1/2 metric...stupid


pretty sure the 21mm = 1 1/16" standard

I used a 1 1/16" when I did mine...but my Autosprings install instructions called for the 1 1/16".

You need the 30mm deepwell socket for the nut side of the lower bolt for the coil-over. the big wrench is to hold the bolt steady.

 

i just used a 12'' cresent wrench and an impact on the bolt

 

another excellent way 98greensi...I just got lucky and had a few big wrenchs that worked
