J Brace for 2024 US Ranger

[SCFast]

I am 99% sure they are. I already ordered mine from my dealer and they are going to install as soon as they receive the truck. They have 2 models on Ford's accessory site. Raptor/non raptor

Same, Saw them pop up in the accessory catalog but i will install myself.

to be loaded with some other trucks heading my dealer's way.

If you had waited till you pay for your truck, this would've been completely free with FordPass points that you get from a new vehicle purchase.

For us in Australia, the J Brace isn't in the owners manual either, it's in the Body Equipment Manual.

Speaking of that, what if anything must one do to get those points for the purchase? I signed up and got the app after I ordered. Do I just give them my number when (if) my truck comes in later? Do I need to do anything before it comes in?

Had ordered the J-Braces and they are scheduled to arrive via FedEx tomorrow. Now if the Lariat would arrive soon I'd be happy. Will install them myself.

are the J braces needed for a fiberglass topper on the bed?

 

[Critical Habitat]

Yes, they are needed for anything (more than 88 pounds) added that sits above the bed rail level.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Why Buy
Required when installing accessories extending above the load box side rail and weighing more than 88lb (40kg)

Details
These brackets have been developed by Ford to brace the floor to the wall of the load box to ensure that the off-road durability performance of the load box is maintained with the installation of load-bearing elevated accessories.

• When installing accessories extending above the load box side rail and weighing more than 88lb (40kg) must have load box reinforcement brackets installed
• Examples of these include service body, bed caps, ladder racks, carrier cross bars, load-bearing elevated accessories
• These reinforcement brackets have been designed specifically for Ford Licensed Accessories and their suitability for use with any aftermarket (non-Ford Licensed) accessories will need to be determined by the aftermarket manufacturer or supplier
• Dealer installation recommended

Good point. Didn't think of that. Already have a lot of Fordpass points from another vehicle parts and maintenance. There are some other things I may decide to add and can use points for part/all of them.

Anyone attempted to put these on yet?

From we can read, Ranger’s build after July 15 ´24 would have the J Brace? as mine was built on 08/12.
