Hello! I have a 98 2500 v10 4x4. I have a meyers 7.5 plow and my front springs are shot. I need some suggestions. I want about 3 inches of lift for my front end. Should I get springs with extra lift to them or 1 ton springs with spacers?

Heres a lifted spring with a hell of a lot of load to them I was looking at but its a bit pricey.

This is a set of skyjacker springs with 3 inches of lift and cheap as crap. Not sure how well they will handle with a plow though

Lift springs. If yout want 3" don't even look at spacers.

I think you'd prob be better off with the softer skyjackers. Plow on will sit about stick feint end height when empty so still good for pushing snow but plow off will sit 3" higher and ride better

Hello. Just a little update. I bought the TTC-1216 HD springs for my truck. I also ordered a 1" spacer. This will put me around 2"-2.5"+1" of lift. So 3"-3.5" depending on how much they compress. Only was able to find 1 set of shocks that can operate in that range and they are from Fox. Anyone know of any shocks that would handle this setup good with a plow?
