Default 97 b2500 van- socket size upper control arm

I have a 24mm it fits the bolts that hold it to the frame. Yet the larger nuts that hold the bushing's are bigger..
Question is are they 27mm.. Which is the next step up in metric sockets I think..I just ordered a set of craftsmen from amazon ($50) yet they only go up to 27mm,, so I hope it fit's..

By the way that's at least the biggest nut on the whole van...isn't it? Ok maybe the strut rod bolt is bigger, cause it's a 1 1/8th'' ....thanks for the help.

Inches to millimeters conversion table
Inches (") Millimeters (mm)
1/8 ″ 3.175 mm
1/4 ″ 6.35 mm
1/2 ″ 12.7 mm
1 ″ 25.4 mm

So 1 1/8th'' is what I need cause other wise it wouldn't work out right. @ 25.4+3.75 =
?? 29.15mm
Even after I get the socket set, I'll still need to get big wrenches and a few more bigger sockets I guess...So far I'll just try to use a expandable wrench on the strut rod..
