If you're towing something not too crazy large and need to park somewhere for a few days, our house is on 2 acres right off the Parks Hwy, north side of Fairbanks as you roll into town. The road can be bumpy sometimes but it's manageable. Our home is quite humble but I've a 900 sq ft garage, tools if you need to do any repairs, fresh water, etc. A Canadian neighbor who's also a Ford guy would be welcome. If it's something that may end up happening, send me a PM well ahead of time and I'd be happy to go into more detail privately. We'd also be happy to share ideas on good camping spots, fishing, canoeing, etc, for this area, or even meet one of the sweet spots.
sounds great. Will be departing here Burton NB Canada ( East Coast) on 22 May and likely into Dawson city by ~ 5 June Fairbanks by 15 th ....pretty firm time line up to Jasper National Park. Still planning resting areas from there

450s have 10 lugs and so the brake rotors do to. Unless you swap complete axles, you can’t add the brakes to a 350. Not to mention they don’t fit in a 17” 350 dually rim.

Troverman, thanks for the information. I was essentially just looking for better brakes. I’m sure there are aftermarket parts. You have any recommendations.

Not really, but you could search out and send a message to Roy (Sailor_Roy) who has a 2015 F350 dually (sale brakes as a 2017). He just did his brakes and I believe he installed upgrade parts.
