snow plow question
Hey SD guys! Well the wife gave me permission to get a plow for my 05. Heres my predicament. I have a TOP GUN bumper which is like a ranch hand. It sticks out farther than stock and i am wondering if anyone knew of a plow that would accomodate a plow. Any help would work as well as pics of plows that stick out a little farther. i just need one that doesnt hug the front end really tight. thanks in advance

I run an older Meyer plow, I only do a couple driveways- family members. I take off the Ranch Hand and put a stock front that I got off a repair from work. I just Scheibed it gold to match the rockers, its only on there a few months. Maybe you can find a decent one cheap in a salvage yard just for the winter. Just my .02

jagski2, you wouldnt have any pics would you. if you do, would you mind emailing them to me. (JD_F250@hotmail.com) that would be awesome. i thought about swapping bumpers but the top gun is BIG and 250 lbs. then i have to worry about storage.

True, I figure mines easily that much. I used a come-along but now I have a 1 ton elec. hoist that is secured in the roof joists in the garage, makes install/removal alot easier. Then I have a piano dolly that either the bumper or the plow sits on for ease of relocation- within the garage of course.

There are several manufacturers that make plows with the hydraulic pump mounted on the a-frame of the plow. This should provide enough clearance. Blizzard, SnoWay, Boss all come to mind. The final choice will hinge both on clearance issues, budget, and application.
Find the closest dealer, and go visit with your truck.
