Default Lower Bolt size for Front Air Shock?

Help Please, I did a search on this Forum, IE, and Google, did not find anything relating to "what is the size of the Star Bolt" on the front shocks. I have up to a T55, but it has a little too much play so, I am assuming it is a T60? I need to know before I spend money on tools that I do not need (I have a shop full of those).

Moving you to the X350 section.

Do you not have a friendly local garage that will lend/hire you a seldom used tool.

My local guy is partial to J&B, hint hint.

Oh man, do I wish there is a friendly garage here! I live near a military base so, all they want is $$$$$.
I did have the local Dodge dealer hook-up the scanner for free, they wanted to look in my VDP.
I might ask them politely.

I would like to have my own tool, I have my own shop in back and have most tools, including engine rebuilding, body work, painting, and also wood-working tools. I have a Snap-on Scanner but it only goes to 2000. I purchased an 3100E last week to check my Engine Light fault.

I purchased the T60 socket and removed the old shock and will be installing the new shock tomorrow.

Took the VDP out for a test drive

No issues with the height sensor, compressor, shock, or air-line.

(None that I noticed)

Follow Arnott's Instructions!

I used 2 hyd floor jacks and 2 jack stands for safety. Also keep in mind that when you are lifting at the jack points, the whole side will lift-not just that corner (Safety).
