If it is going on a midsize or half ton its a great plow. I had one on my Colorado and it worked for what I did. I had a problem with the jack and that was it. I wanted to get into doing some more driveways so I looked for an SD but ended up trading it in with the truck. I give it my approval .

thanks for the input. I was looking at the sd, but two dealers told me Fisher didn't recommend it for my k1500 ext. cab.

In reference to stacking I suppose so but I was raising at the same time. If your plowing through snow banks it would react like any other it may ride up a bit but would go back to float.

Your 1500 will handle a 7.5' SD fine. My 2002 Chevy 1500 reg. cab handles my 7.5' SD great. The SD is what I would recommend.
