Not in any rush. Pretty sure I got a set of gently used Fox 2.0 fronts and rears for a good price locally to me. Gonna take it slow. I like the stock sport 17's so won't be changing those.
I originally was running 34"s with 1.5 hub centric spacers with sport wheels it gave me a flush look. I attached pix so you get a feel.

I have officially sign papers from Granger Ford found via the form @Zach@granger Just need to get my deposit in. Purpose of this truck is for my new Daily driver, tow my now current daily driver (modified 2013 Scion FRS) that will become dedicated track car, and get out and start camping again with some light off-roading mixed in. The 3-4 months wait time is going suck but good things come to those who wait.

My Order consists of: MY22, Cactus Gray XLT, 302A, Sport PKG, FX2, tow package and that's it. I debated going for 4x4 but for the off-roading I want to do Tires and the rear locker should be enough. I am glad I stumbled on the forums. Lots of good info. At least within the first 2-3 days break in will be over driving the truck back from Dealership to CA :p

Is it bad I am already figuring out parts for the Truck

Congratulations Jeff. I have a Bronco order in at Granger, and have nothing but good things to say about them. The Granger team have always answered my questions no matter how stupid they are. :)

nice! you should be selling those.
Thank you. I made it as a 3 piece design so that if I needed to remove it I wouldn't have to remove lower grill. Svc sells one similar to the one I made, but it's a one piece design. I think they sell for like 200 bucks.

If you bought outside of CA and are a resident in CA then you’re gonna have to put 7500 miles on it before registering here in CA…

Depends. If the truck is 50 state compliant from the start that doesn't apply.
