Snowplow

Hi, I was not sure where to post this pic, but if anyone is interested I just got done putting a snowplow on my 85 wagon. Now I am waiting for snow. http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah95/kmark724/eagleplow_zps22bf49e6.jpg

What did you do to the front suspension to deal with the additional weight?

It's actually a fairly light plow, and it doesn't seem to pull the front end down too much when lifting the plow. I was concerned about it but once I got it working  I was rather surprised myself that it didn't move that much. However that all said, I am thinking of putting new springs in in the future.

AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!
