The front axle nut in a Dodge Ram 3500 is A42mm nut. When You are adding or removing the lug nuts from a car then You will want to be careful not to damage them. If You overtighten them then You run the risk of snapping them or stripping them, especially if they are old or rusted. If You strip the lug nuts then they will simply spin in the socket and You won't be able to get them loose. If that happens then You will need a mechanical press to push them out, but this can damage the wheel. If You snap the bolts then You will need to remove the rotor on the wheel and unthread them from the back. Both of these are simple enough to avoid if You take some caution.

Not all front axle nuts are 1 11/16 I've change several of these over the years had one today on a 2013 3500 crew cab dually 4wd that was 1 5/16 so check it with a mic or use a crescent wrench and measure before you bebop to the store to buy the wrong socket

You're wrong. It's a 43 dumbshit. Stop spreading miss information. Who do you work for the mainstream media? I want facts not CNN opinion.

Mine seems to be 34mm but feels loose. I have a 2016 Ram 3500 Tradesman. Unfortunently my set came with 32mm and then 34mm. I may hit the store and see how a 33mm fits. If that’s a thing?

I have a 2016 Dodge Ram 3500 HD Laramie crew cab, 4 x 4 with the 6.7, the size of the front axle nut for my truck is 1 5/16. 1 1 1/4 is too small. I actually measured mine with a caliper so that I could get the exact size.
It’s a one and three-quarter inch socket meatheads
