Yeah, I was reading all sorts of conflicting stuff on the forums, but when it saw that in the code, I was like, wait a sec...the squatch flares are 5 inches! It may very well be that if they are oem it doesn't matter, but the code language doesn't reflect that. A lot of the posters were saying...
I read on one of the Jeep forums that they don't consider the front "flares" to be flares, because they are considered fenders, rather than flares. The rears are less than 3".
I've been wondering how Sasquatch owners in PA will fare on the road, considering the following from PA Code:

(A) The horizontal bumper shall be at least 4.5 inches in vertical height, centered on the vehicle's centerline, and extend no less than the width of the respective wheel track distances. Bumpers shall be...

There's also the fact that many non-FE Reservations have timestamps before FE ones. Ford never said FE was going to be prioritized out of timestamp order...unless someone can correct me here.
Regardless of where you fall on using 4 or 5, remember that the "spare" is not designed as a spare, as @toymaster said. These are not maintenance-free spare tires, as modern donuts and many full size spares are(my Yukon's spare has the same diameter but is narrower). If you leave it on the back...
