Need VIN from Snow Plow Prep Package Owner!
Hey all, hope you are doing well. In order to locate the part number for the heavier duty springs, the Ford Parts Guy says I need to get a VIN from someone who has the Snow Plow Prep Package on their truck.
Please post it here or PM me!
Thanks in advance,
Anthony

Thanks for your help guys. The freight company weighed in the bumper at 175lb. I thought it'd be much, much, heavier. I probably won't need the beefier springs.

I work for a major plow install company and we have guys come in all the time who want plow packages on 150's and we turn them away unless they want poly plows. No a good idea to put any steel plow package on a 150 regardless on any upgrades done.

No, all 150 springs are the same height, but they have different spring rates.
