Your Ford Dealership should have installed the "steel frame" when they received the truck.
It is their responsibility if required by your Country or State to have a front plate. Mine was laying on the back floorboard, along with 2 Heavy Duty rivets. The dealership has the tool to install the rivets.
I'm really sorry you had such a hard time finding those 13mm sockets. 1/2" SAE would have worked fine, they are the same size and available just about anywhere. Also another common size is an 8mm, you can use a 5/16" SAE. Next time you need metric, check out a conversion chart, there are several...
I wanted a one-piece Duraliner, but FORD was the only drop-in (5 panels) available in late '24.
I've had drop-ins since they started making them. They are very durable and make removing stuff (rocks, sand, mulch, bark, etc) from the bed so easy, and easy to clean, sweep and hose out.

I received my 2.7 on 9/4, order confirmed on June 12. I was very impressed with the power of the 2.3 but every now and then I pull a heavy trailer, so I went for the 2.7. Pretty big difference, It will give my 08 Bullitt a run for the money.
I'm considering 295 70-18s (34 X 11.6 x18) on stock wheels with a 2" or 2.5" leveling kit. Was your rubbing from width or height. Has anyone tried this on a `24 FX4?
If you do any driving off road, snow, mud or ice, you want the "locking rear end".
The FX4 package gives you all the stuff you need for off road at a discounted price.
