Someone had mentioned the later 2023's would have the 4 bolt rear end support. Just saw a new Explorer ST on the lot with a 03-13-23 build date. It still has the 3 bolt setup. Any later 2023 build dates than 03-13-23 with 4 bolts out there?

A few stragglers that just got lucky but nothing with any consistency.

Just checked my ST, which was manufactured May 2023, it only has one bolt. I’ll be installing a differential brace. Anyone have thoughts on which among these below are best to install?
