Aside from the potential weight issues, I'm looking at the spare mounted on the tailgate and it doesn't look like anything bigger than a 35 would fit there. If Ford is likely offering a 37 inch tire (with lift) how do you store the 37 inch spare? Perhaps the third tail light adjust up?

Does this truck have the 37 inch spare on the back?

Yes, that’s a 37” spare but that Bronco is a “custom” build according to Ford. I’ve also heard that specific Bronco is a showcase viewing piece only.
I’m very hopeful that 37s and a 2” lift will be offered by Ford or as a dealer add-on, but it’s doubtful.
But I would guess that there’s is or will be aftermarket kits that will allow a 37” or larger. All it would take is a little accessory part that attaches to the spare tire mount to move it up a little bit and a extension of the center brake light. Or just remove the center light completely.

I'd rather have an aftermarket delete option for brake light.

From all of the pics available it looks like there is enough room for a 37" spare tire. Of course the only way to know for sure is for Ford to confirm it.

I don't think it's "doubtful"; I think that 2" lift being available as a dealer add-on is "probable", as much as they've shown that truck. That will be one of the dealer available options at some point, almost assuredly.

Can’t find better pics, but you can see an extra set of screw holes in the brake light bar (where it bolts to the tailgate) for a bigger tire. Second pic shows how they moved it up for the yellow Bronco’s 37s.
