I'm in the same boat as you on this one. After seeing pictures I wouldn't be surprised if someone on here in a different financial situation were to make an offer.
X2. I'm really curious to see how this turns out. I can't imagine getting back into those without hitting fenders (low offset) or frame (high offset) first.
I have some Rhino soft shackles and they're good quality. Only thing I've purchased from DC Cargo mall is e-track rails and they're pretty nice, but it's also hard to mess up e-track rail. I'd choose the longer option if there's a difference, after that maybe rated capacity.
I'd recommend buying a pair of the retractable straps just because they're by far my favorite style. Only complaint is some of them have pretty short straps and won't work with bulky loads. Then you'd have your 2 existing straps as extras or when you need a longer reach.
Not the correct cab but my '25 measures to 6' 7-5/8" to the highest point on the cab and 7' 2-1/4" to the top of the factory antenna with a 2-3/4" level and 35x12.50's.
On the bright side of this, if you love your exhaust tone under heavy throttle, the 37" tires will guarantee you get to spend more time listening to it!
Too bad Ford doesn't offer these here, I bet they'd sell dozens! 9,920lb GVW so I'm guessing 4-5k lbs of payload?

Ah the most agonizing part of the wait. I'm normally pretty patient but between the time my truck showed built and delivered I think I refreshed the order tracking site every hour at least.
Curious to see how you like them. I looked at these when I was tire shopping but seemed like they only had load range F in the sizes I was interested in. What load range are these?
I do wish that the extra ground clearance didn't come at the expense of increased CV and ball joint angles, but I probably worry about that more than I really need to.
