Nice choice. I added Raptor wheels to mine this spring and I love the look. Mine came with TPMS and factory BFG KO's. I think if you get the factory sensors they work without any additional programming. My wheels have them in there from a 2014 Raptor and they worked on my truck without any additional programming. If you go aftermarket, you have to have the sensors to the truck, I think. My wife's car has aftermarket sensors on her winter wheels and the Tire Rack used a device to program them to her car. What tires are you thinking of going with? Since you are in NW Indiana, the Tire Rack isn't too far, I'm sure they offer the sensors you need and if they have the tires you want it could be a nice one stop shop. If you go that route I might be able to save you a few bucks as I get wholesale pricing with them so if you are interested shoot me a pm.

I would just buy OEM Ford TPMS sensors online for $40

I'd imagine I could install them myself .......looks like they just slide into place

As for tires , not sure yet........ just depending on the price

Always been a huge fan of Toyo tires, wear great, great traction and they balance great too......just the price is steep

Anyone know if the raptor wheels and 315 sized tires fit into the stock spare location without clearance issues?

I really like the looks and reviews of the Toyo AT2. I think tread depot always had the best price I found.

From what I have read and what others have told me, the 315 spare fits in the stock location but the exhaust heat shield may require a little bending. I will let you know, I have to put my spare raptor wheel on my truck soon.

I see there are differences in the Raptor wheels .......

2010-2012 and 2013-2014

Do they both have the same specs?

I like the tailgate step, but the handle gets in the way, ALL the time

I found this cool delete project.........that I will do before the bed gets sprayed this summer

Looks to be around $60-$70

9L3Z9943121A -$44.26
W710734-S439 - $1.08 ea

Remove the plastic tailgate liner, remove the pole and brackets..........and install this patch panel

This is one of the best things that I have done! I got so irritated with that pole trying to slide stuff into the truck.

Rather than going to LineX, I just put a WeatherTech TechLiner in the bed and on the Tailgate. Still debating something along the lines of LineX...

I too agree that the "pole" is a HUGE PITA


I searched all over the internet and cannot find this part for under $300
