No Fisher plow for Diesel Ram?

No Fisher plow for Diesel Ram?
I stopped in to get a quote on a plow> he keyed in 2500 Laramie, Quad cab, long bed, and diesel and said he cannot put a plow on it because of the weight up front even with the snow plow prep package. He could not tell me why and said "I don't know, go try another manufacturer" > Anybody know if it is just because Fisher makes a heavy plow and what other manufacturers that I will NOT have a problem with.
Thanks

I can't give you a difinitive answer, but I had a fisher on my 91, and it was one heavy momma! I now use almost exclusively meyer and the weight difference is huge.

That's because of the diesel. It is believed that the truck will be full of passengers. Between that weight, the engine and the plow, it overloads the front axle. I would go to a different dealer. I am sure you can get somebody to install it.

When I was looking for a new truck. I came across an 04 QC CTD Long box with a Boss plow on it. It was an 8 footer. I own a fisher and love them but it seems people that buy Boss are loyal followers also. I would not recomend that Hinkler. Probably very hard to get parts for. At least when the snow is flying you can easily get parts for the Big 3 plow makers. Fisher/Boss/Myer

I have a Western Pro Plus 8ft on my 04, no problems. Truck barely squats when the plow is lifted the whole way up. The "Quick Match" program on their website said the biggest I could fit was a 7 1/2, but the dealer said the 8ft would be no problem on the truck.

I run a 8 ft. Diamond which is made by Meyer its their version of Trip Edge. It weighs in at 800lbs pretty heavy IMO dont know why Fisher wouldnt put one on these trucks.

They do. I got on Fisher's site & entered my truck & got a 7 1/2' RD Series w/ MM2 or the 8' HD Series w/ MM2. Use Fisher's eMatch.
