Default Wrench & socket size

Got a 2008 JKU

What's the largest socket and wrench size needed for routine engine and suspension maintenance?

Just installed a new lift, don't remember needing anything bigger than 21mm.


Thanks Tim

Thanks. I'd probably buy that as a single. Trying to get a set that covers 90% and buy the rest as needed. I'm military so I've got access to the base auto shop that has all the larger stuff and specialty tools for loan.

$6 a day for a covered bay where you can leave things overnight if needed.

This right here and a couple crescent wrentches and vice grips covers everything I've needed to do.

From removing doors, tops, seats, axles, and misc crap. Plus I bought a set of Torx for the wrentches.
