Hey guys I'm trying o deiced if I want to get a plow for my 08,150. What kinds would u guys suggest and you got any pics of your trucks with a plow on it. I wanna see how it looks.

 

i have a 94 f150 as my plow truck. i put big coil springs in the front to level her out. i put a 71/2 on the front. there is little sag when the plow is up. im sure your truck will be fine with an 8' on the front, i have seen plenty with them on. but if your just going to be plowing driveways and not roads i would go with a 71/2 it is the prefect size in my opinion. but if you are doing roads then an 8'.

 

I would suggest going with a 7.5'. Take a look at Snoway, Fisher, Western, and Boss. They all make lightweight plows for 1/2tons, Jeeps ect. I would personally go with either a Snoway or Western Suburbanite. But I know that Fisher is also big out east, make some calls and see what dealers have to say about the different brands and go from there.

 

yea i was worried about the sag on the front end killing it. did the coils affect the ride a lot.

 

I have heavy duty coils on my 94 F150 also, although I put them in my truck to lift the front of the truck and not actually to help carry more weight. It did stiffen the ride up, but its not that bad. For your truck I would suggest putting either a 1.5 or 2" leveling kit on the truck. That way you are not affecting the ride of the truck at all, but the front end also isn't nose diving with the plow.

 

go to www.plowsite.com alot of good info. there are several guys running 04+ f150's and plows

 

just some various pics from guy's off the sight. that's why i'm selling my truck, gonna be plowing next year. f150 ain't gonna hold up plowing commerically IMO

 

if it was my truck, i would go with this setup~7.5' Pro Plow with the Ultramount hook-up. i know one guy who runs this setup and has no issues with it, he run's a leveling kit to keep the front end a tad higher, run's the stockers in the winter though. i'd like to see how long a tranny would hold up running 35's and plowing...not long i bet.

 

thanks for the pics man i wanted to see what a truck looked like with various plows on it. just to see some set ups that people are running out there. And on another note ATOM.....don't get rid of your truck that truck is sweet. Thanks again man.

 

thanks man. i may keep it after all. but i will need to have a custom plow mount fabbed up and gonna get 4.88 gears too. it might make a good work truck

 

yea try a nasty work truck haha. i use mine for work and load it up with wood and people look at me like im crazy and i just say to them " hey man its a truck wouldnt of bought it if iwasnt gonna use it".

 

I'm going to put a plow on my F-150 Heritage. I know a local company that has 3 or 4 F-150 with plows on them and they hold up just fine. As long as you don't abuse your truck it will be just fine. I drove a V-6 F-150 with 7.5' plow on it and had no problems at all.

 

you can't put a "real" plow on any of the newer trucks, 1/2 tons i'm referring too. it sucks, the dealer will refuse to put it on. i can't would to get a v-boss

 

There are three 1/2 tons running around here with with 8'-2" BOSS Power V's on them and one of the trucks is a Nissan Titan. You can do it but its really hard on the front suspension. I am going to put a 9'-6" Western MVP on my truck next fall to plow here at work, my dads house and at camp.

 

there are alot of guys who don't care about the front end, but them bitch when they break.
