Leave it unless you plan on having it at car shows and mirrors underneath it. It's not going to get any worse. Good thing is you have the aluminum driveshaft vs. the rusty steel one I have on my 157" WB Supercrew.

I'd be more concerned about the diff oil that seems to be leaking out of the fill plug.

is the 157" WB driveshaft in the 2015 one piece now or is it like the previous years?

Don't do anything. It's fine and nothing will come of it...

Have them check that diff plug.

Fix the rest yourself.
Eastwood Rust Encapsulator Paint - Black Aerosol 15 oz -> Amazon

You will do a better job on painting/undercoating your truck than the dealership.
