Bad sag.

Well we tried lifting the plow for the first time sunday and it wasn;t promising. witht he weight of the plow the front springs bottomed out and the tires stuffed toofar into the whellwells to turn. So i ordered tuffcountrys 2.5 in leveling kit with the deisel spring pack to kive me a little more. I'll post when I cet it installed.

You may have been better off with new springs. Those add a leaf kits will start to sag after about a year with that weight on it.

It is however a cheap and quick fix that will work for now.
Let us know how it goes, including the install.
Good luck!

.......Before and after pics would be really cool

I thought of that so when i ordered the kit i got the setup for a deisel truck. It should give me the higher spring rate to keep things in line. Also i am replacing all the bushings with polyurathane.
