Snow plow prep package???

I special ordered my 04 f-350/4x4 6.0 FX4 and it did not come with the snow plow prep package I ordered came with the dual alternators though. Does anyone know was other suspension components are different and maybe the price to add it....

i might be wrong about the steering stabalizer, my truck has the camper package and it came with one. the x code springs are 6000 lbs, yours could be anything from 4800 to 5200.

According to the 2004 order guide, the snow plow package isn't available with a supercab or crew cab on diesel 4x4's. Does your friend have a 2004 or an older truck with the 7.3L?

Snow Plow Package .................................................. . 86M 0 0 0
4x4 only. NA on SuperCab & Crew Cab w/Power Stroke®
engine. NA w/674 Heavy Service Susp. Pkg., 682 Max Front
GAWR Pkg. See Group/Misc. page for contents.

415 sounds high. i called around and the cheapest was 170 per spring. if you have the tools, especially air tools you could do it yourself.

You shouldn't have to do anything more than center the steering wheel, because you will not be changing the caster/camber or toe in/out

it could also be due to the other packages you or your friend have, if you have the camper package or the heavy service package then you can not get the snow plow package(its basicaly the same thing) but if your buddy does not have either of those packages than he could have the plow package
