Any reccomendation for a spare wheel locking bolts to make it a bit harder to steal?

Do you mean beyond a locking lug nut? I think at that point you are typically looking at some type of cable and padlock arrangement.

I bought the Ford 5-lug kit and threw it on. A bit high priced at $75, but a little harder to steal now. Looks good too

They come in 5 often.

If I felt the need I would throw on a cable and padlock. Actually I worry more about catalytic converter theft.

You can get Gorilla spline-lugs. They sell them per set, 4 wheels, and 3 extra for the spare. Without the spline wheel key, similar to a wheel lock, tough to get off. Plus all 5 wheels now harder to steal.

What size is needed for the badlands with 33” wheels?

I went with the Ford (McGard) ones too for the spare.

I'm not too worried about somebody jacking up my vehicle and stealing my wheels, I'm more worried about somebody just messing around with the spare and having it fly off.

I went with Dorman splined lug nuts. Had enough to all five wheels, and we have a spare tire cover. So out of sight out of mind.

I got my son some Gorilla Guard Locks for his rims and I'm pretty confident they'd be damn near impossible to steal. With most wheel locks the outside of them are keyed different, all you'd have to do is hammer on a socket and they'll come off. Hell they sell special sockets at auto parts stores to take off the lug nuts for those that "lose their lug nut key". I like these because the outer portion of the lug nut spins freely so even if they hammer it on, its just going to spin, won't grab the inner portion. And the distance between the outer and inner portion is so small that only their thin-walled socket will fit. Will be getting these for the Bronco eventually.
