Does anyone know the wrench size needed for the adjuster nut on the control arms and track bar on the MetalCloak 3.5” game changer lift?

I have in my notes: 1.5” for lowers, 1 11/16” for lowers, and 1.275” for track bars. I just got a giant adjustable wrench ?

Tractor supply usually has a reasonable price for fixed wrenches at this size.

Get a set of crowfoot wrenches. You can tighten with a breaker and or a torque wrench. I have a 250lb torque wrench I used. Couldn't get it much tighter than that even with a breaker bar. Better off than trying an adjustable wrench.

Here ya go - metalcloak makes them to fit:

I actually found it hard to find any large enough, except these

But I disagree on the second part - the ~14” adjustable I use is quality, very tight and parallel, and easy to crank hard. Small adjustables are often loose cheap crap but the big ones seem to be quality

Better off buying the Crowfoot in the size you need than a fix beam style wrench. With a crowfoot, you can index it as needed with either a breaker bar or ratchet. There is hardly any room on the front track bar to wield a large fixed wrench in there
