Thanks! That was the plan. I waited for today to get a Job #2. Not that the changes appear to be major, though.

I returned the ones from eBay the day after I got them. They were totally beat. 50 miles my ****. Either that or it was totally amateur hour when the tires were removed. The guy tried to fight the return so I quickly escalated the claim through eBay who forced the issue and he had to pay return shipping as well. The clear coat looked like someone took sandpaper to it all the way around each wheel and there was a nice big chip in one of the spokes. He also didn't pack them properly and the center caps bounced around and scratched up the center of the wheels really well. I sell on eBay too and there are two very important rules. The first is over describe condition and take excellent photos of any imperfections. The second is, pack VERY well. Anyways, I've bought two other "new take off" sets of wheels on eBay in the past and they were perfect. It didn't work out this time and I didn't want to try a second time after the hassle of reboxing them and lugging them to FedEx. So, Ford got my money on this one... Ah well...

eBay has really changed a lot in the last 5 years or so. They are 100% for the buyer now. Sellers can't even give negative feedback to buyers now. This can be frustrating if you're an honest seller dealing with a sleaze buyer (been there as a seller...) but it seems the other way around was so much more common that eBay had to change the rules.
I didn't think you could get the 5er hitch prep with short box. Now you are in the same boat as I am...waiting, waiting, waiting.

Yep, you can now get the 5er prep on SWB (been that way for a few years). When is your ETA or do you know yet?

I ordered on 1/13, no idea on ETA. I have a scheduled date of 2/20 start date of 3/6 and end date of 3/12, not real sure what those dates mean. I'm not getting anxious just yet, I still really don't mind driving my '11 CC LWB SRW.
