[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.

 

[QUOTE=Mike189677;14619184]It was a question more than an option but thank you.

 

I actually dont think that the 35's look to small in your pictures any way. and the stance is great. But for my taste there is to much rim but man i wish mud grapplers came in 35x13.5 or 14.5

 

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.

 

No offence taken. Thank you for the apology. In my area I am known for my lifted clean work trucks and have gained business with this advertising. My mechanic yells at me for plowing with lifted trucks but has extended the bump stops and more to keep trucks working.

 

Thats funny because i was trying to talk my boss into buying me a plow to plow our work lot and make him some money on the side but he said that i shouldnt plow with a lifted truck. I guess you are proof other wise hahaha.

 

Sorry for my ignorance here, guys, but why shouldn't you plow with a lifted truck...? Does it pull the front end down too much, or is it a balance issue...or...?

Thanks much for any info you can share.

 

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.

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.

 

Improper plow, Boss Standard Duty with wings, 1100lbs. This is a lifted suspension killer.

 

thats a pretty light duty plow anyways, your drop brackets for ifs lift should be fine if they got welded up togeather after being bolted on. otherwise it will be a snap crackle pop fest under that truck.

 

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.

 

Thanks for the explanation...! Very interesting info on the necessary alterations to handle the load, plus the differences between F150 and Superduty capabilities.

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.

 

Prof_Bob my business is entirely private contracts. I do not even touch sub-contract work. So we plow driveways and smaller parking lots.

 

could Any of you guys with 35's give me some measurments please? like tire to fender clearence front and rear. And telll me what lift you have also. Thanks

 

Pretty sure I'm late to the party but here is what it looked like with a 6.5" lift and 35" swampers.
