Spare tire mount reinforcement kit now available from Ford Performance Parts

[WildOne23]

I would wait it out. If you read upthread a bit you will see I called to check on mine and they cancelled it.

I did reorder and it was a little bit of a crap show but one of the reps I spoke to said they were back ordered until 2/20. Just speculation on my part but I would think FP would supply oldest orders first once they have stock again.

Oddly enough when I reordered, I optioned to pick up at the dealer instead of direct shipping. It said it would be at the dealer by 2/12. Not sure how to digest that. Maybe dealers get priority?

That’s only a few days away so I will post up if it actually arrives as stated.

I just called Ford Accessories, and they also stated that these are backordered until 2/20, and said it would take a week after to start shipping.

They also told me that the order might automatically cancel if it "sits" for too long (didn't give me a timeframe for that, my order was placed Jan 31). When I asked if I can re-order using the same discount codes, they said I'd have to rely on whatever discounts are available at the time of re-ordering. @Ford, this seems like a crappy deal if these orders get cancelled and the same discount codes do not exist anymore.

EDIT: Order is now "in transit to dealer" as of Feb. 11.

Do we know how much additional weight this supports?

Why are you bringing logical questions to this forum? I thought this kit was just for the looks?

(ok fine, I have the same question. I'm just assuming my 37" spare is fine (plus some), given this is Braptor OEM)

Given that a OEM Raptor wheel/tire combo would be about 12 lbs heavier (16 with beadlock added) than the SAS combo...at least that, so a couple gallons of gas.

IF this happens to me I will take it as a sign from the universe to just order the new Turn Offroad bumper with carrier and not have to remove my tailgate.

Not sure about the size. The instructions say you have to move it to the right about 1” which is why I think a new one is included.

I had bought a matte black one to swap out anyhow awhile back. Expensive little sucker. $80 for the matte black. Gloss one was $45 or so.

I want the black horse logo but my Badlands is silver so the black provides a nice contrast. The current horse kind of gets lost.

@nolimits kind of unrelated, but what size tires are your running there?

That shot makes them look skinny but 37x12.5x17 Yokohama Geolandar MT G003’s.

Has anyone been notified that your order has shipped? I ordered 1 for both of our Broncos January 31. It still claims the order is processing.

I’m a fan of keeping the tires a bit more tucked under. Looks like the perfect amount of poke. Nice work!

My order just shipped.

Awesome news. They actually plan on sending them I guess. Did you order on the 31st?

As a forum member once told me when I questioned a purchase based on functionality... "it's about how it makes you feel".

Yep, I ordered on the 31st. It shipped via FedEx.

Hope mine isn't far behind. I haven't got any new parts in a while.

Thanks man, appreciate that.

Wheels are Icon Rebound Pros, 17x8.5 +25 offset and I have a Badlands non-SAS so the skinny flares. No spacers either.

I also don’t like a ton of poke but my bigger goal was trying to keep as much positive offset as possible to help reduce scrub radius.

Just got back in town. Will have to follow up with my dealer tomorrow. Fingers crossed they hit the 2/12 date. Based on some orders shipping there is a glimmer of hope.

Of course we’re expecting 4-7” of snow tonight. Bet the cry babies stay home tomorrow due to weather.
