Default 180 plow

Has anyone put the snowsport 180 plow on their 2nd gen dakota? I'm looking into getting it for small jobs nothing big. My driveway and moms,very short stuff. But noticed on a website not to put a plow on cause of the air bag may go off.
Thanks
Dakota newbie.

Pull the fuses for the airbags?

Not much use for a plow here. Thank jebus! My impression is that it's kinda hard on a pickup, tho, every plow equipped pickup I've seen was a POS.

There is a Dakota that plows the parking lot near my work...

Seems to do just fine!

Yes you need to pull the airbag fuses while plowing just in case. Always put them back in when you are through

To me they are cheap plows. Work if you have a dusting of snow and a paved driveway. Better off to get something used thats a good name brand. As far as the air bags we have never pulled the fuses on our trucks. You have to literally come to a dead stop from about 20-30mph for the airbags to go off. Bunch of guys plow with dakotas cause they are small and come with v8's. Just be warned that it will take a toll on the tranny and front end.
