Plow on SuperCrew - Page 2 - Ford F150 Forum

I have a western HTS that I purchased for my 06 scab. The engine blew after only having it a year. Was not about to take a loss on it so I installed on my screw. I did not know all I know now about the screw but again I am not taking a loss on this investment.

So I don't need the leveling kit or is that what the timbrens are?

check out timbren web site they are an after market rubber bump stop that replace the stock ones to help carry the added weight you wont even know that there on the truck wont affect ride when the plow is off.

I bought my 97 Scab new in 99 I put a 7.5 ft. 700 lb. fisher standard duty plow on it plowed 12 yrs. with it only parts that had to be replaced were 2 tie rod ends at around 70,000 miles. I had NYS inspection done just before I sold it front end was all good. I guess I must be lucky never had any problems with mine. I used a needle tip on my grease gun and poked a small hole and greased all the sealed for life front end parts. I do the same with my 08 also.

You are one of the few who actually grease non greaseable parts. I do it too but im ****. Most people i know who plow take there trucks to quick oil change places. And thats the first no no. And you had a super cab. Those are better than the super crews. Not sure why but thats what ford says.
