I have a 2008 39 Unlimited and tow with f250
Never have had a problem. Towed it when it was stock without airbags and it towes just as good now with airbags and lift that we installed. It towes nicely on the Manning Triple Axle trailer it sits on. I don't have my f250 tuned. Its a 2017 and it has awesome power to tow the rig. Wouldn't have it any other way. The 39 absolutely towes way better than my 38 top gun that I had previously. The staggered setup does help.

Found my Cat scales-
Truck- 04 F650 C-7
Front axel 7600--- Rear 7320
Boat and Steel trailer 12840- less than half full fuel
Total 27760.
Its all about the Stopping/ Emergency maneuver that matters- IF and When Needed. Not that there are Idiots on the road with us-

Airbags are the only thing I'm familiar with. I'm going to look into all the other options you listed as well!

I pull my 39 with a stock single wheel f350. The truck has zero issues pulling the boat and can effortlessly go down the highway at 80mph. As was said earlier, a good trailer is almost as important as the truck. EOH brakes are a must and the trailer will pull the truck to a stop.

Agreed, EOH is a must!
