Solution for SnowBear Snow Plow that Wobbles When Raised Up While Traveling

Question:

I installed the plow on my 2000 Dodge Dakota. Since the blade pivots on a single bolt the blade wobbles quite significantly when driving with it raised. I am very concerned about the stresses that this is putting on the pivot bolt. Is there a way to resolve this? I dont want to have to disconnect the blade every time I want to drive the truck without needing to plow.

I spoke with SnowBear about the issue you described and they said it sounds like you aren't using the safety chain that came with the plow which was designed for removing the play you are describing. There's more info on it on pages 13 and 14 in the manual of the plow. Secondly, vehicles with plows connected should NOT travel on roadways without the safety chain installed, as this may result in serious damage to the roadway, plow and vehicle and may cause serious injury to the operator.

See attached picture.
