Since you are installing your Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17500 on your 2021 Ford F-150 truck you will not use step 3. This step is only required for cars, vans and small SUV's as their suspension is not intended for towing with a weight distribution hitch and will squat more.

Hi Donny; after looking at several videos of the trailer it does appear to have a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern with ST225/75R15 tires. The Goodyear Endurance ST225/75R15 Radial Tire w/ 15" Eagle Aluminum Wheel #GY97QB will be a direct fit.
