Default Thinking about a snowplow


Hi everyone. Haven't posted here in sometime. Since we are getting out of winter I have done some thinking. Looking to put a plow on my truck. It's 02 1500 lt 5.3l doent hsve the package. I read posts all over net that this truck shouldn't plow, that this truck cant handle it or that it can. More confused. All I am looking to do is some driveways, make a couple bucks on the side. Not commercial lots. That I know it wouldn't be able to handle it. Just thinking abt something like pictured below or above. Any information would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

generally, 1500 trucks are not made to plow. you can bolt one on but they are not made for it. the suspension and driveline are not heavy duty. you certainly dont want one that you will drive around with each day....the weight with put the alignment out. if you must, get a model that you can remove for daily driving.
