My 2014 has the OEM beadlock wheels with the SVT beauty ring. Any precautions? Does that ring need removed?

Yes the beauty ring needs to come off. Just make sure you use the correct size Torx bit so you don’t strip the heads of the bolts. Those bolts aren’t cheap to replace.

I have the same wheels on my 2014 special edition like yours. I had my tires changed at a tire shop I do business with and they very carefully replaced my tires WITHOUT removing the rings. I watched and they took their time and did it with no scratches. It may be safer to remove them, but it wasn't necessary.

I got a set of new takeoff tires from a new Bronco. Same raptor size, load range C. Goodyear's labeled as Mud Terrains, but pretty quiet so far and ride great.
