Does anyone incorporate the spare when you rotate the tires?

What’s thinking about doing it. Rotating every 5k.

I just did it at about 4,500. You will need another tpms sensor and to have the spare balanced. First truck I have ever done this with and not sure why. I think it's just a preference thing and no real right or wrong answer.

Nope, as stated earlier it doesn't have a TPMS and isn't balanced so I haven't included it in the 5k mile rotation schedule for the Raptor.

So let me ask as if this hasn’t been asked before. Are you guys moving the rears to the front and criss crossing them? Then each front directly to the back on the same side? It’s kinda of asking about tire rotation 101 but this is my first Raptor and never had KO2’s.

I get mine done at the dealer so I'm not sure of their procedure but the tires are wearing evenly (can't say the same for maintaining the air pressure).

Not sure if my alignment may have been off a bit right from the factory or what? But I had my stock tires swapped over to aftermarket wheels @ 4K miles and the guys at the tire shop said my fronts were wearing pretty choppy for 4K miles.

Odd, I'm just over 25k on the stockers and zero cupping - other than losing air pressure suddenly (about 4 psi) at around 22k they've worn evenly. Also, my Raptor has seen quite a bit of off-road usage due to having to use it for work (Telecom construction) so it hasn't lived an easy street life.

My original KO2s were @ about half tread @ 18K miles so I sold them and the aftermarket rims they were on.
