Yes drops on radius arms , sway bar , and trac bar.. Went with adjustable trac bar, cut 1.5" off the BDS coils. Made 2" bump stops. And used 3" flat bar 2.5" thick on rear. Fox 2.0 shocks. It goes in for alignment on tues.

New here, left another forum and signed up to this one, just a lot more info and the dually section is a lot busier. Viet Nam Vet and ret. 33 yr. Police Ofcr. from So. Cal now living in So. Utah......
Anywho I'm waiting on my new"16 F-350 KR Tow Boss. I didn't like the little 17" tires so I did some research and bought a set of the Eagle 20x7.5" polished wheels and 275-65-20 Michelin Defender tires. I don't think they make a 20x9 #058 wheel. Didn't matter, I don't want mine hanging out either......here's a couple of pics of the wheel/tire combo waitng patiently in the garage......Dave

I've towed with both a 2011 and my current 2015. I've never used manual mode when towing. I always used tow haul. Each time you hit the brakes, when going downhill, the transmission will downshift a gear. Going down hill with the 2011, I might have to hit the brakes 2,3,4 times before engine and transmission would get the speed of the rig slowed to a comfortable. With the 2015, I find that one tap of the brakes is usually enough, sometimes two taps. I love the exhaust brake. I wouldn't want to go back to a truck without it. That said, I wouldn't trade just to get the exhaust brake.
Tow/Haul Mode does everything I need. I used it on my '09 and on my '15. I love the way it downshifts every time I hit the brakes. Mine does have the engine brake feature and it is nice but it is not required. I would still have my 09 had it not been for the accident. My 40' GN trailer is about 15,000#.

While driving on the freeway this weekend, I swear that I saw a rear hub cap as noted in this closed thread and video sitting on the side of the road face up. I immediately thought of the video. I still love all the attitude in this video.
