I have a 2014 2500 4x4.
Does anyone know what sockets I need to do this?
Specifically, the axle nut and ball joints?
I have some 3/4” drive stuff want to make sure I have what I need before I tear into it.

I just did this 2 weeks ago on a 2011, but I believe they are the same.Originally Posted by rsabol77
Axle nut is 43mm.
18, 21, 24, & 30mm for wheel bearing and hubs and ball joints and brakes.
I used an OTC 8031 Press kit for the ball joints, which much easier than a BFH.
Also needed some large open-end wrenches 15/16 and 1-1/8 for the ball joints (Carli)
Here's a good video from @CJC Off Road
Good luck. It's a chore but saved me at least $1k in labor cost.
FYI not sure if they changed but my 2014 2500 axle nut is about 34mm or 1-5/16.
Just sent my dad after another socket.

Edit: just realized you are changing ball joints, not u-joints!
Sorry about that!
Just changed my u-joints and hubs. Axle nut was 1-11/16.
If you use an old socket and mall, the u-joints come right out, of course remove the c clip first.

Mine didn’t have c clips either.
They must have changed at some point.

I upgraded to offset ball joints several years back.
They do have c-clips and grease zerks!
