    The best place to get them is at Sears Hardware stores. I can get them through a few places here at work but it's only a few dollars cheaper so it's not worth ordering when I can cruise down to Sears and pick them right up.

    The set I use is made by Blackhawk ( a MAC tools brand ) and these things are the cat's a$$. Super fine ratcheting action, so if you can find those pick them up BUT they are next to impossible to find anymore. Good luck Josh

    damn, i definately know what you mean now! LoL! changed the rear shocks today and a racheting socket would have came in SOOOO handy its not even funny

    I managed pretty well though. couldn't do the front shocks though because you can NOT reuse the stock rear insulator nuts. the stock ones are way to small, the bilsteins bolt is alot bigger. I ended up using the front insulator nuts cuz they came with the front shocks, so i'll have to order 2 more insulator nuts tomorrow from the dealer so i can do the fronts.

    I"ll post up a how-to on the rear shocks in a few minutes for anybody else that doesn't know all that much about changing shocks. it was pretty easy though

    thanks for all the help!
