i got a 2001 f-150 supercrew with a 5.4 gas motor...its lifted with 35's...i ran i thru the match on western and it came back that i can only use that surburbanite on my truck..im not using that...

i was possibly thinking about a 7 1/2 just for this winter until i get my new truck next year...keep in mind that i live in NJ so we dont get crazy snow as well as the fact that my fulltaime job is with the public works department so i wont be doing crazy hours with my personal truck...just a few hours here and there to help my buddy out after i finish my DPW shift...

so my question is think my truck would be ok with a 7 1/2 ultra or uni mount?

I have a 7 1/2ft Snow-Way on my 03 F150 and it works great.

I also have a SnoWay with downpressure on my F150 and really like it. People are really surprised at how well it plows.

I have a 7'6" SnoWay on my 2000 F150, love it with the Down preasure. Plows alot for a light weight plow. And with addition of those wings you can make a 9' plow on a light weight plow for your truck.

We had a 7.5' Western poly on a 2001 F150 at work for 2 years, it worked great. The truck only had a 4.6L but the 5.4L shouldn't be a problem.

I sold a customer an 04 F 150 new style, he installed an 8' Western Pro Contracters grade, and Timbren, without problems, but he only does his road (2.2 miles dirt) then unhooks it. He doesn't carry it around.

Yea, don't get the suburbanite. First of all you can't plow with 35's and a lift. Get new tires and get rid of the lift if you wanna plow, or buy a different truck. I have a meyer st 7.5 on my f150 w/timbrens. At 656 pounds It handles the plow absolutely no problems. I believe that with proper ballast weight and front suspension upgrades, a f-150 can go up to a 8 foot blade. Don't take my word...just drive nice and do it. I would go any 7 1/2 blade and get some wings.(mine are in the mail)
