Bumper Push Bar options

Anyone have a way of mounting a bumper guard/push bar that can support two off-road lights in unison with a functional Minute-mount Fisher Snowplow?

I'm thinking no matter what you put on, it will interfer with the plow head.
I'd like to have some way of mounting off-road lights on the truck, but still need the functionality of the snowplow.


Thanks for any help.

Bump.

I don't know anything about plows. I just don't like seeing posts with 0 replies off the first page.

Judging from how most plow mounts almost hug the front of the truck, you'd need to have some sort of extension made for the plow mount to move it forward enough to clear the push bar. Or..... custom build a push bar with a removable section that fits around the plow assembly. The only problem with the first option is that you're moving all that weight further forward and adding more with the extension, which would need to be pretty strong. I'd try to find something that would work with the plow or someone who could build you one.

How about a headache rack in the bed and mount the lights there? Or would that make the snow just blinding if it's lit up from behind you?

Been away for a few days.
Thanks for the input.
Putting the light bar infront of the plow head is a problem, but it was "think out of the box" which is always a good thing.

I'll look at those two sites and see what I can come up with

The light bar above the cab would make seeing a challenge when it is snowing, but I can turn the lights off at that point.
This seems like the route to go.
