Default Snow plowing in a lifted truck anyone?

So I have been thinking about getting a plow. It's not your normal plow its called a snowsport. They look cool and there a hell of a lot lighter than a normal plow. No wiring no controls. They seem to do a good job. There about 1400 bucks (for a 7ft blade and 1800 for a 8ft blade) so its not like I'm going to shell out a ton of money. I have no issue getting out of my truck and putting the thing back up there. I don't think I will be doing any large area's just my drive way and might do a few others. They are calling for a lot of snow (we all know how that works out if I buy this I wont see flake number one) around 30+ " of snow with out any major storms. They last few weeks he have been getting a lot of noreaster and they mean snow in the winter time. I'm not really looking to make money with this just less work. Also I have been thinking since I lifted my truck 3" and now am sitting on 33 it might now work due to I would be to tall. Here is there site and the install instructions. http://www.agricover.com/index.php/p.../category/C24/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ3jqeMyiPs Anyone know anyone how has one? Like it hate it?

I figured if I get this I will be one step closer to a winch cause I would have the hitch already up there.

I also like how theres no wiring or having to buy expensive lights, and you don't have to haul the plow around everywhere you go.

Yea its a nice little thing I just don't see any and they have been out for a good while now. The reviews on there site only said nothing but good things about them but I want to find the bad ones.

If your lift is only 3 inches then you should be fine. I know that once you get too tall it causes the blade to hit at the wrong angle and it wears out faster.

You have wayyyy too many issues with that truck to even think about snow plowing.

Really dont mean to sound like an a$$ but plowing with 1500 a bad idea but a dodge come on we all know the trans are junk and dont like it. Yea that thing got to be super little compare to a real plow but still.
I know what you mean by your to lazy to do by hand it sucks so i got my own sears tractor 14hp for free rebuilt a 18hp briggs engine and slap that on there with alot of lights and welded a plow i got for free, change the pulls around (for speed hehe) It so nice to have i maybe have 100$ into it and when i am away my mom plows the drive way with it. It that easly to use.
