Those tires look as meaty as the ones I had!
My buddy has those tires on his truck and says they are really bad in the snow, not much traction, I can't imagine plowing with them. He did mention with the wheel drive engaged it helps but not much.

OH MAN...that poor truck. 5000 dollars!!:dizzy: You should check around at dealerships and truck upfitter places, you could get a new bed for much less than that.:eek:

ps...im pretty sure all ram short beds are the same no matter if its 1500 or 3500, but you may want to check it out if you go that route.
