It's good to know that there are two types. I'll measure mine this
evening and report back. It's pretty darn huge. The socket, I mean.

Tim, there are 2 sizes (someone else mentioned this too) a "small" one
and a "big" one. The big one is 2-1/8, so if your ball joints measure
2-1/8" across the flat sides, it's the same as the 4wds. I believe it
is. I think the small one is for some other non-dak chrysler product.
