Snowplow Package, Don't need it?
I'm looking at a truck that has everthing I want but also a Snowplow package. I never intend to have a snow plow. Will this affect ride alot because of springs? Also, will it sit nose up without the plow on it?
I haven't seen the truck in person.

I have an 03 F250 CC. I plow with it. When the plow is off, it looks normal.
As for the ride.... well it is a truck. If I want a cushy ride, we take the wife's car. Don't be afraid of the plow package, it won't hurt you.

JeffreyK....It seems like every new SD I look at in this area of the country has the snow plow package added to it...I have a 2002 F-250 SD 4x4 XLT 7.3L with the snow plow package on it (much to my dismay, because I don't plow, but the deal was good, it was a left over) but I don't have any problems or complaints with the handling, steering, driving, or front end height.

He didn't say it had a plow on it, he said it had the snow plow prep. which is really just the 6000lbs springs and a steering dampener.

I just ordered a 2005 250 6.0L and put the snow plow prep package on it .. I've seen a bunch of trucks at the dealer with the package on them and it they look the same as the ones without it ... they all ride like trucks which is a good thing ...

The 6000lbs coils are a little stiffer but are only a 1\2in. taller, when I order my truck I am just going to have coils made to my specs, want it to handle a heavy plow and sit level (F-350) I miss the X-leaf springs already, the new coils are a step backwrds...
