JFC Posted November 12, 2023 #1 Posted November 12, 2023 Want to add a Snow Plow. Vehicle has been lifted 2". Does the bracket need to accommodate that extra lift to keep the plowing geometry correct? Denali, Switchblade, KPI, Poly v Steel? Any recommendations. Quote
that guy from Canada Posted November 17, 2023 #2 Posted November 17, 2023 It shoulnt need modifications, you may need to set the feet a little lower to prevent the plow from digging in, but thats all Quote
that guy from Canada Posted November 18, 2023 #3 Posted November 18, 2023 Poly vs steel , poly is more slippery for plowing, snow rolls off better, plus lighter installing and moving around. steel is way more durable and can be used to push around loose gravel leveling a driveway... loose gravel! Not a grader! lol Quote
Rick Ramseyer Posted November 25, 2023 #4 Posted November 25, 2023 2 weeks ago I got a 72 inch Denali for my 2011 Tyrex. The plow mount was supposed to mount to the BOTTOM of the frame plate on the unit by hanging it from 2 grade 5 bolts that are also used to mount the winch. Aside from the fact that this causes the bolts securing the rear of the plow to be way too short, this mounting creates a shear point for the front bolts. You are asking the front bolts to absorb the force every time you push into that snow bank. I’m a retired engineer who knows about force transfer. This is a ludicrous way to attach the plow mount to the frame. I got hold of Motoalliance, the outfit I bought it from, and was told that yes this is how to mount it. I doubt the kid I spoke to was a technical representative but was probably a parts guy. If I can get hold of Denali, I’ll post an update. I was quite satisfied with the quality of the product itself but the installation instructions were very poor. Quote
