If it's an 04+ it "should" be a 34mm, however from my own experience on Wbodies and reading around the internet all Wbodies can have a 34, 35, or 36mm (not sure what that is all about though). I've always just used a 36 mm socket (because I don't have a 34 or 35mm) and never had a problem and it's better than buying a 34mm then realizing you need a 35 or 36

The service manual is down right now, but I recall the torque spec being 159ft/lbs for the axle nut. Everything else I've just tightened it down to whatever I feel like. The axle nut is really the only key thing to torque down to proper specs since it sets the preload for the bearing. When the service manual is back up though, it should have all the torque specs in it.
