I hang a Boss 9'-2" poly Vee plow off of mine. All 980 LBS of it no problems.

Anyone else? I'm actually looking at picking up an 05 250 with no plow prep but was hesitant about putting a plow on it. Is it not that big of a deal?

I have a Boss 8' Super Duty trip edge plow I use on mine. That's why I got the extra leaf made, to bring the spring rating up to 6000#.

I just put a 7.5 BOSS standard duty on my '00 F250 with XA #5200 springs. Doesn't hardly squat the truck.

I'd like to get a bigger plow, but for now, it was used and cheap and works great so I'm just going to leave it alone.

I was told the actual snow plow prep trucks came with the 5.4L with 4.10's and a L/S rear. My buddy had one with L/S front and rear, and he fit 34x10.50 LTB's on it without any rubbing.

No, axle ratio and plow prep are not related. Two separate options.

I believe 05 was the first year a snow plow pkg could be ordered on a cc diesel.

I have an '02 with a 8' Sno-Way plow, CC 7.3 and all works fine. No heat problems or spring problems.
