- Apart from the size of the plows, another economic factor is whether the plow is electric actuator driven like the Detail K2 Rampage II Elite Snowplow - Custom Mount # K2RAMP8219ELT or electric winch driven like the Detail K2 Rampage II Snowplow # K2RAMP8219. The actuator-driven capability is generally easier to maintain and generally lasts about twice as long as a winch-driven plow.
If you want a more economical option that still includes an actuator mechanism, I recommend the Detail...

- Yes, the difference between the Detail K2 Snowplow # K2AVAL8422 and Detail K2 Elite Snowplow # K2AVAL8422ELT is the Elite has the electric actuator over the winch. The Elite also uses a chain connection to the blade while the basic K2 has a strap that is more likely to become damaged. The electric actuator is superior to the winch. It operates faster, smoother and it has a built in clutch that will protect against damage that a winch would cause. The actuator won't be able to lift the blade...
view full answer... - Choosing Tire Chains for 2003 GMC Sierra 3500 Dually Truck Plowing Snow
- For your application plowing snow with your dually truck I suggest a set of rear chains made specifically for your dually wheels as these will be easier to install than separate sets.
In general the thicker the chains' link material is the better the traction. V-bar and twist-link chains provide good grip but a square link chain will do better. A bonus: some square link chains be reversed, allowing you to get the most life out of them. Damage to the underlying road surface can occur with...

- You will want to use the Super Springs SuperCoil 2600-lb front spring kit # SSC-22 in your 1999 Ram 2500 4x4. The other kit # SSC-23 that is rated for 5000-lbs is intended for heavy-duty commercial vehicles that have a permanently-mounted commercial-grade snow plow which will need much more support.

- Both the Draw-Tite # 65071 and the Curt # C31074 front-mount hitches that fit your 2017 Chevy Colorado diesel will install in the same way, without drilling, but both will probably need you to trim the front dam. The two hitches share identical weight capacities too. Install instructions for both hitches are included for your reference.
The main noteworthy difference between the two hitches is that the Curt is USA-made and the Draw-Tite is made in Mexico.
Front-mount hitches make it a...

- Both the Curt Front Hitch # 31313 and the Draw-Tite Front Hitch # 65070 are confirmed to fit your 2014 Tacoma 4x4 but I definitely recommend the Draw-Tite for its higher 500-lb vertical load weight rating and because it allows re-installation of the skid shield which is not possible with the Curt.
If you're intending to use a hitch-mount snow plow like the Detail K2 Avalanche # K2AVAL8219 or a hitch cargo carrier like # 63153 or any other potentially heavy item you might want to consider...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Versus Helper Springs for 2008 Toyota Tundra
- Helper and air springs primarily work with loads on the vehicle itself, while weight distribution will use leverage provided by the spring bars to transfer a portion of a trailers tongue weight from the rear axle to the front axle. Using a weight distribution system is typically called for when the weight of the trailer plus the load on it weighs 50 percent or more of the weight of the tow vehicle. A weight distribution system can improve braking, handling and steering response as well...

- Both front-mount hitches we have for your 2017 Ram 3500 Mega Cab, Draw-Tite # 65063 and Curt # C31067, share the same 500-lb vertical load rating (the same as a tongue weight rating) which is downward force on the hitch, so the choice really just depends on whether or not your truck has the factory tow hooks. If so, go for the Draw-Tite # 65063 which is shown in the linked video. If not go for the Curt # C31067.
