I put a leveling kit of the truck 2 years ago and the meyer doesnt have any more drop available so it is wearing out the front edges.

The plow is junk anyways, way to light duty for a 3/4 ton pickup the moldboard looks like a S looking down the cutting edge. I bought it new and have plowed with it since for 10 years.

OH I will also tell you what I did today, other than my job interview.
I was going to to store to get some plastic cups because we have a get together at my house tomorrow, and on the radio, red solo cup is on, and so I'm singing "I hate you red solo cup"
AND I couldn't buy the red solo cups, lol I had to buy the blue ones, I won't ever drink out of a red one again lol

A couple of days late but I spent the weekend working on monster trucks in Corbin Kentucky. Friday night we had to change a tranny is Bigfoot. Saturday morning we fixed a broken shock on Ironman & then during the competition we had to replace a rear steering cylinder on Lucas Oil Stabilizer. It was a great time but it wore this fatboy out. We were busting a$$ to get the tires changed on 4 trucks so we could get out of there before the snow hit.

I think mine probably is from pushing to one side more than the other. Creature of habit I guess. It's probably a little light duty too, but holding up OK. Thought I'd have to replace the cutting edge this year. Those edges last a long time if there's no snow.

Just to keep on topic here, we laid a decent bit of drainage today. First day back to work at the golf course. Kinda nice to be doing something for a change.

Do you ever get much of a response besides spam off of your craigslist ad?
