Snow Plow for the Ex

Looking for some advice on good plow setup for the X. Been looking at all the options, specifically the poly blades. They run about 450lbs vs 700lbs of steel.


I am also going to put some front springs in it.. Likely just go with F250 plow package springs...

I put a 2 inch add a leaf in from skyjacker to get the nose of my f350 dually up a little and it worked great.Easy to put in and about $200.

If your gonna do it to make $, make sure you buy a setup that has lots of replacement parts locally. Some of the setups that are not common can take a week to get parts shipped in. Thats a LOT of $ lost. I manage the parking lots around a major stadium, and the guys we use all seem to go with western do to quality and parts availability.

I put a Boss plow on my X. Look at the gallery. I didn't add springs, just airbags all around.

Is there a light-duty plow that doesn't require messing with the suspension?

Mine took a little nose dive when the plow was put on but not enough to where it needed the airbags to function. I just wanted the goodies beings I didn't have to pay for it. ha ha
