OK screw it Ill just say it im putting a plow on the Dakota and its 470 lbs... just wondering if i should do anything else to it... like different torsion bars etc...
My dad killed his plow truck... So im thinkin just put it on my truck? Its a 7.5' Boss straigh blade. It weighs around 480lbs and Im just wondering if im going to need to buy different torsion bars.
A freind of mine here has an older dakota with an 8' blade! And he pushes snow FINE!
Actually theres 2 of those Dakotas here with 8' blades... Just there both the older kotas wondering how beefy my front end is...
Like I said just small drive ways
Just mainly pushing the windrow outta the driveways at about 10 places.. No parking lots or bank moving like my dad did! He was so hard on his truck lol I wonder why it broke a F150 and he is moving banks in march! LOL
i think you will have front end issues like wearing out all the joints. also i think your truck has the 42RE trans and it wont like it either. Use low range for sure and i wouldn't drive around with the plow on all the time.
