Timbrens work great, 2500 bars would also work.

The real main weak link in a 1500, especially in a plow truck, is the 4L60.
91s had a 4l60?

Welders can weld, and fitters can fit, but the porta-can-man knows his ****.

Buy a set of lift keys (that are indexed for more lift with less inital adjustment of the adjustment bolt) and then back off the keys when the plow is off of the truck.


Cue applause


...unless of course you've already done that, in which case just ignore everything I said

I know you don't want a 2500, but......wouldn't that be alot easier, cheaper, less headache. And you wouldn't destroy your 1500 doing 2500 stuff. Plows are hard on heavier trucks with std tranny's.

Buying parts here and there is much cheaper than buying a different truck. Living in Illinois, a rust free truck can be quite a bit more, and either way, it's cheaper to drop a little here and there for parts instead of another truck and having 2 trucks to be fixing all the time

I think it's beyond that at this point. Keys are all the way and it still sinks. All it would do it make it sit higher before it sinks. At this point I think stronger bars are the only route. However I would like lift keys for the extra little lift once I swap bars.
