Default Quick rear shock question

went to unbolt my rear shocks to put on the lowering springs and didn't have a socket to fit. Is it a 22mm? Anybody know?

I can't remember. I used two small adjustable wreches, one for the box tip and the other for the nut. It took a while but eventually it came off.

Oh **** your talking about where it attaches to the axle not to the body. Sorry brain fart. I am pretty sure it is a 22mm. I did buy a 22 mm socket and an 22mm combo wrench
