The 43-1681HD from SD Truck Springs is 4400lbs per spring and $190. It's supposed to be a direct replacement so I'm thinking a good idea.
All in all, I'd say I'm happy that the truck is built like it is

Not sure. Will have to check.

Here I thought I needed to spend another $650 to get one I'm happy about that one!

Great point someone made in a diesel forum! If you add a Dually Box, Axle, Wheels, Springs etc to your SRW it will virtually become a DRW truck with the associated payload....

6.4 doesn't have an exhaust brake in OE configuration. You need a programmer to activate the turbo vanes for braking.
If they did, there wouldn't be programmers to activate it.

I have had tires where the date code was located only on one side of the tire.

Grit_Dog -- yes, apparently they do 08 and on
Troutguy -- I'll have to check them all. By the way, I used to LOVE trout fishing! By the time I was 10 i would go out alone in the woods and wander around looking for good trouble streams...today, when I go, which isn't often, I usually get the most enjoyment out of a small remote lake, a canoe and either alone or with someone else equally 'hooked' on trout

The tuners change the behavior of the VGT but exhaust braking through the turbo does happen. Ford chose to hide what was happening and when in their setup, so there is confusion. VGT exhaust braking started in the previous generation and is only active in tow/haul mode with no way manually just turn EB on or off. Having a tuner allows more control of the VGT regardless if the transmission is in tow/haul or not.
