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.

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.
