Do I need a dually?

For a tag trailer that grosses less than 10,000 pounds? No.

What rear gear should I order? Limited slip is a must.
[/ QUOTE ]
With SRW and diesel engine, you don't have a choice. 3.73 is the only ratio available. LS is an option.
If you decide to go with a Dooley, then your LS choices are 4.10 and 4.30. If you don't plan to maybe buy a bigger race trailer, then 4.10 is your logical choice.

Any other packages or items to help in the tow area?
[/ QUOTE ]
Towing pkg is standard. 12.5k receiver is std on the SRW. 15k receiver is standard on the Dooley. I'd add the TowCommand System and the Camper Pkg. The only thing you'll get with the camper pkg is slightly heavier front springs and rear sway bars. But that's a good way to get decent rear sway bars.

Bump up tires and rims?

No. Stock tires and wheels are what you need for towing. Bigger tires and wheels are only for showoff and ego stroking, and they almost always reduce towing capacity. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Should I try to position for Job 2?
[/ QUOTE ]
Only if there's something in Job 2 you can't live without. Download the 2008 F-350 Order Guide from www.sunrisefordfleet.com and study the Job 2 changes. It's your money so you decide. Realize you won't be driving a Job 2 truck until at least September, whereas a Job 1 truck could be here before the end of July - if your dealer doesn't find one that meets your specs in stock or on the train sooner.
