I think I used 18mm on the front shocks of my 1994 Bronco. I have 2 sets of metric sockets and one set did not come with an 18mm.

Thanks guys, All my Craftsman sockets go from 17 to 19mm.I guess it's off to Sears to pick up the 18. I did the fronts last night with a channel locks and an adjustable. My knuckles are paying for it this morning.I went with the Gabriel Gasryder LT and the ride is greatly improved. I found a site where they are closing out the Sears road handler name shocks because Sears switched to Monroe. $16.50 each while they last. RockAuto.com is the site. Good Luck,
