    Just what the name says, what size are the nuts on the torsion adjustment. I don't have all my tools anymore due to them getting stolen in storage... I will have to buy a new socket and box wrench, just need to know what size to buy. Need to get this front adjusted ASAP imtired of driving around looking like I have a load of bricks in the bed of my truck....

    I checked a spare torsion bolt in my garage and the bolt is 22mm don't exactly remember what the nut size was on top chances are same size or a tad smaller . There maybe some variance in bolt size thru the years but chances are there 22mm

    If I were you get two.open end the bottom and brace it to the frame and box end the top and use another big wrench as a cheater for leverage.for some reason I rember the jam nuts being 21mm but cant confirm that right now.truck too low and don't have my jack with me.

    both top and bottom are 22mm for sure. I got a 22mm box end for the top and 22mm 1/2 inch socket for bottom. the boxend braces against trans and frame depending on what direction your going. watch out for the brake and fuel lines tho. pb blast and breakerbar ftw.

    I can concur. The bolt and nut on my 93 standard cab is 22mm. I pb blasted the thing for 3 days straight. They look brand new. I cannot wait to do this.
    I might shoot some video because it is lacking info on this simple task. But everytime i do something I forget to take a picture. I am just so excited I just do it.
