Tools for autospring.

Hey all, have my 2.5"autospring on the way and I was just wondering what are the tools I need. I dont mean normal hand tools or air ratchets, but more like the 30mm wrench(i think) and how big of a LB/FT torque wrench do i need up too.

Thanks in advance

Kevin

Just installed my 2.5'' today, you will need 10,15,18,17,21,30 mm deep sockets. you will also need small adjustable for holding stem on sway bar bolt, stem turns.Also will need 15,17 mm wrenches and a hammer.10 mm is for taking off the bracket that holds the brake lines to the frame, directions don't mention this but I highly recommend it.Takes strain off brake lines when A frame drops. pretty easy install. Good Luck.

did the soft ride in the front change at all? I have the 2" tuff country and the ride on the front of my truck is very stiff right now.

the autospring kit does not affect the ride at all, it mounts on top of the strut so does not effect the suspension .
