I am currently seeking an F250 from 75-94ish and i want to use it as a plow truck here in virginia. ( I dont know if this is the right section for this particular question ?? )

I would like to do a 4" lift with 35"s on the truck and was wondering how this would effect the ability to plow. Proper gears will be done in the truck to account for the lift.

 

IT can be done. You might need to be really picky on the tires. My 88 with 35 mud tires is a scary ride in the winter with no weight in the bed. Problem is the 12 1/2 width of the tire makes a wider / softer foot print. There are a few guys here in NE Ohio running like a 33 or 34 on one ton single rear wheel trucks. Most of them do parking lots and put some weight in the bed.

IMHO tire set up will be this biggest thing you will need to look in to. I just do not drive my 88 when the roads are bad.

 

My F150 with Firestone mud terrains is not fun in the snow either. What kind of tires should i look at, i would be chaining them either way but maybe just a nice All terrain.

 

First you are gonna get *hit for lifting the TTB. Good luck with that. 35" is going to have a horrible turning radius, so commercial lots might work but residential would be tough maneuvering.

The overall height of the ride is fine, just make sure your "A" arm is level to the ground - by using the different mounting holes available.

I only plow my drive and a couple others, and with the F250, long bed, 33" 12.5", she's a tough fit.

 

I was just thinking about it cuz i would like to hit mild trails. is your truck stock height, maybe i could just fit 32"s stock.

 

Yep stock. The 33"s fit really nice with no mods (assuming no sag in your leafs.)

I should mention I have an '86 - not sure what changed at '87-'91.

 

I want the older flat front like the 86, i wont have sag in the rear because i have a set of F350 springs to go in it back there.

 

You will need to adjust the bracket on the truck side to compensate for the difference in ride height with the lift, the push frame has to be level with the plow on the ground so that the cutting edge will stay on the ground at full angle.
However, I do not suggest plowing with 35's on, the best thing to do is to run a set of dedicated winters in stock size(235/85) or maybe a 285, tall and skinny with a tread pattern that provides lots of biting edges(mud tires need not apply) is what you want for plowing. I run 235/85's on my Dodge for the winter, 315's for the summer, and I'm pretty happy with it. I did have to adjust my truck side bracket to compensate for the 6" of change in ride height between the worn out old springs and the 2" lift new ones I put in it. I would have to drop it a good bit more to run the 35's plowing. Most plow brackets will require a fair bit of modification if you're past about 4" above stock.
