We had a western plow on a 95 Bronco. I think they used a F150 uni-mount. I don't see the problem. Put HD coils with air bags. Rode level even with a 8' plow(fiberglass).

The newer plows are a unimount type . they have a big frame work under truck .

But I built /modified a 89 meyers sub frame boxed the crumple zone and put cross pc in . It was a off road truck and was beat plowing snow and had no problem with plow mount holding up.

I got a plow on my F350 all though I have the stronger frame up front. I do see alot of our years F150s with plows around here. You will be fine.

yeah i think im goinna box the crumple zone and cross brace it and get stiffer coils for the front only thing the meyers plow i got is steel and one heavy sob so the air bags added would help alot thanks for taking your time to answer my questions i love this site i found it by accident just goes to prove never know what youll find till you go looking

F350 coils will fit . U may have alinement issues at first but the first winter the heavy coil will sag little and should line up fine.
