If you have to lower or remove the adjustable rubber stops, put a small spot of grease on the tops to determine the proper height. Start low and adjust higher and when it leaves a small amount of grease on the underside of the hood, you're good.

When I got new tires on my 2016, the shop wouldn't install the old lugs saying too many were too damaged. Now I have a 2020 and wondering if Ford has replaced the chrome cap style lugs. (I suppose I could walk out to the garage and look for myself, but I'm doing this right now.)

I would go farther than just a hand held wire brush to get it to bare metal. There are different types of wheels for a drill or angle grinder. The best primer is an epoxy or urethane, but Rustoleum auto primer will work fine. I don't remember what it's called, but there are rust neutralizers you spread on, then prime. I wouldn't apply Flex Seal or Plasti-Dip until you prime, and I wouldn't use it at all, if not applied properly, it seems like a place where moisture could collect. I used to live in MN so I've been cleaning up rusty cars since the 70's when you could hear the rust forming. I now live in AZ so its dried out components that are the problem. Good luck and keep us posted.

That rocker panel rust looks like it will be pitted when removed, but not all the way through. The key will be getting it down to clean metal and keeping it clean and dry until primed. I wouldn't worry about under the car, it's the sheet metal that will go first. Good luck.
