Front Suspension Socket Size(s)
I'm replacing the front coils on my '85 F150 4wd and l need to buy (at least) a couple of sockets.
The bottom spring retainer bolt measures 1.11 inches on my digital caliper.
Upper ball joint nut measures 1.31 inches.
Given that rust and crud may have thrown off my measurements by .01 inches, even the Google -machine can't seem to come up with a usable socket size... any ideas?

ETA; played around w it some more this morning and I'm pretty sure the ball joint castle nut is 1 5/16".
Looks like I'm making a trip to Hobo Freight... biggest socket l have is 1 1/4".
