Hello,

I am new to the snow plowing trade and I already have a 2010 regular cab F250 5.4 gasser 4x4 truck with 4400' front GVWR that I would like to start snowplowing with for my properties. I have made up my mind on getting a BOSS straight blade plow but I do not now weather to get the 7.6' or 8' plow. What is the right plow width for this size of truck? I was leaning towards the 7.6' but then I do not now weather to get the Standard Duty or Super Duty. I am concerned about overloading the front weight limit on this truck.

Any advise?

A 2010 F-250 should have a Dana 60 front axle, same that my truck has. My truck has a front GAWR of 5,200 lbs. I think it all boils down to the spring rating.

Your truck will handle the plow but new springs or timbrens would help out quite a bit.
+1. Looking into snow plow prep springs.

That said, I would run an 8' 6". These Super Duties are WIDE trucks.
