I am with 69cj on this. Put bigger tires and a lift and then complain Ford didn't bulid it right?
Now stock and having issues, if the tech said dual SS shocks are needed - then Ford should pay for it... But the minute it isn't stock - it really isn't their problem.
I am sorry the OP is having the "death wobble" issue on the 2015 that they didn't have on their previous trucks. Was the same lift kit used? The same tire? But as was already pointed out, consider the steering stabilizer shocks part of the lift upgrade you did.

Concur, not the dealers problem or fault:
The min you modify suspension on a front solid axle vehicle, thru lifts, larger tires etc, Death Wobble, which is inherent on solid front axles to begin with, raises its ugly head. Its not the fault of the manuf. Suspension is a science unto itself and engineers make a good living just designing suspensions. When you modify that design then there is a price to pay and the dealer does not owe you a fix...
