[QUOTE=tjcprop;14615915]It's not my truck I don't really like the big wheels those are 20 x either 12 or 14 wide can't remember which but the wide wheels are probably stretching out the tire a little but I do like the the stance if the tires were any taller they would rub the fender and bumper with the wide wheels and it was a picture of 6 and 35s like the op was asking for but thanks for your opinion.

It was a question more than an option but thank you.

Both trucks are pure work trucks used for hauling and plowing. What is wrong with keeping company trucks looking like new, clean and presenting a good image for my business? Both trucks are not factory and have several custom features to make these work strong.
I am sure your truck will not see the frigid nasty weather mine will and be forced to work 20+hrs non stop.

I totally agree with keeping a clean truck and especially one as nice and as new as yours is. I just have a totally different view on the reason to lift a truck. This could be a long debate. But some people want to actually use their over sized tires and lift for off road and some people just want to use it for show and i can respect both perspectives. And btw My truck plowed snow here in Michigan for 2 years before i lifted it and the first 5 it was a strictly work truck for a large construction company out of grand rapids. Im sorry if i offended you by saying lifted trucks should be used for offroading and your superduty looks great but its just not my style, if i ever have a work truck it would be a base model truck with maybe a tuner to help with economy and towing.

My 150 has been built for plowing with a lift. 4.88 gears, 9.75 diff, new heavier duty trans, extended bump stops and the proper plow Western Suburbanite weighting in at 340lbs. Great for driveways.

As i typed early, this is the incorrect plow for this lifted truck. Using the proper plow which is far lighter and doesn't stress the suspension much.

Plowing with a slightly lifted 250 vs 150 is better because the 250 has a heavier duty front suspension. Yes the plow weight pulls the front suspension down. Pulls it down more if the improper plow is used. Also the act of pushing snow as it gets heavier as the plow blade gathers more is hard on the suspension, diff, gears and trany. Is it more true if a lifted 150 with larger heavy tires are added to a truck with factory non suitable gears. Plus the ability to remove snow throwers out of the bed of a lifted truck gets employees b!tching.

Just out of curiosity, do you contract with the city for road plowing or work entirely privately for driveways and the like?
Thanks again for the insight.
