More Plow Package ???s

I'm just wondering what would the difference be between my F-250 with the Snow Plow & 8,800 lb spring package and a F-350? Both with the V-10. Also, I've read the about putting 295/75/16s without a lift. Would I be able to go bigger with mine with the Plow package? I've got 3.73s in it, will the V-10 pull 295s without much problem? I've got 265s now, didn't know if it'd feel much different. Thanks for any info.

One VERY important sticker on the door and some tires.

The V10 will pull the 3.73's with no problems. Have the dealer get the speedo as close as possible and you'll hardly notice it unless your doing any heavy towing.

As for going larger than 295's, it can be done. Some here are running 35's with the X springs. I'd day 295's are safe, anything over and you're pushing it, but I'm probably being conservative.

Front springs are the same as Waxy said, if you want to check out my gallery, I have pics of X springs with 35" BF's on my truck prior to the lifts.
