How to Keep the Front of My Truck From Sagging With a Snow Plow On

For years standard pickup trucks have been converted to snow plows for personal and commercial snow removal. The weight of the plow can cause the front end of a plow truck to sag. This not only looks bad but can cause dangerous driving conditions and damage to the vehicles suspension components. Upgrading the front suspension will save money by reducing future costly repairs.

Instructions

1

Choose a new suspension kit ideal for the use of the vehicle. If the vehicle is driven in non-winter months, choose an air-filled suspension system, which will allow air to be added and removed depending on the season. This type of suspension is usually better at handling increased weight while providing a comfortable ride year round.

2

Add weight to the back of truck with sandbags. The rear weight not only assists in leveling the truck but also provides additional traction.

3

Install the new front end suspension kit following the included instructions or consult with a automotive repair facility.

4

Attach the plow to the truck.

5

Fill the suspension system with air, using an air compressor until the truck is level.

6

Release air pressure from the suspension system when the plow is removed from the vehicle.
