Plow trucks that last are almost always solid axle 3/4 or 1 tons. If you can pick up one cheap to take care of your plowing needs you will be better off.

As of last night, I have 12" of snow in my driveway and it don't matter, because even with the 25 degree incline, 2 s-turns, my Raptor eats it up in 2wd!
You lucky ass.lol

This really has nothing to do with snow plowing but i am new to this forum thing. I was just wondering if it is possible to lift a Raptor a few inches to acomidate a 37" tire, and maybe a little wider tire for stability following the lift? Thanks.

according to most, 37" will rub. you can adjust the front spring perch to gain a couple inches without actually needing a lift.

here's the thread: (the One and Only) Tire size.. (thread)

and here's how to adjust your Shox:

After reading your thread and posting my own, I decided to not buy a blade for the Raptor...

I'll probably buy a blade for my ATV instead, it will take longer but get the job done...

BUT! What about one of those "Jet Blowers"? You know, the kind they drive around the Indy/NASCAR tracks to make sure all debris is gone and the track is clean? If I can't push that snow aside, I'll MELT it! Hahaha
