I see your lift says 2"s...is that a leveling kit?
I have the 2" leveling kit in the front, and have plowed every kind of lot, road, and terrain with it for 2 years now, and have had no problems with it.
I never plowed with it stock.

and the work truck always has a 2yrd procaster sander in it thats always heeped about1.5' above the box and with plow and loaded sander its about 14,000 if not more. without the plow and loaded sander the truck alone with tools and 100gal fuel cell its about 11k and change and i put about 200-300 miles on it with your average 1' snow storm and thats all in parking lots. gets expensive tho usually about 2 tanks of fuel a storm. better than the bosses ford tho he has 40gal out back and a 15gal up front with his6.0L f550 and he sucks down both of them twice a storm, but his utility truck also is over 16,000lbs with the 1000lb plow on the front end.
