Snow Plow?

Does anybody have a plow on their Ex? Been thinking about putting one on myself, looking for suggestions. After the 16 inches we just got today, and an alley that nobody bothers to clean out, kind of want to be able to clean out at least some of the snow. My truck got out no problem, but my wifes CX-7 isn't going to cut it. My suggestion of her getting an Ex too now makes a little more sense!

From what I read in my 2000's owner's manual, it's not recommended. I don't recall if they give a reason why or not, but apparently Ford doesn't feel you should.

From a few other threads Ive read its because the springs are a little weak. I was planning on doing a V/B swap along with the plow.

I've searched this site some, and looked at a few plows. Thinking a Western midweight. Anybody with comments/issues?

i've installed a few. its exactly the same as a super duty pickup. you just need stronger springs. what would be best would be the X-code springs which come on the plow prep pgk on the super dutys.


i own a boss snow plow and have for 10 years..keeps working flawlessly for me. i also work at the local boss dealer so i install these things all the time.
