Alright, as promised, here are a couple shots of the truck with the plow. I went with the 7'6" blade. It has been a Godsend with all the snow we've gotten here this winter. The only thing I need to add is a minilift or leveling kit, since the whole setup weighs about 375lbs. and lowers the front end a bit too much in transit.
If anyone here is on the fence about geting a plow for the Titan, don't worry, it'll definitely handle it!!!
Ok, being from the south, I am going to ask what may seem like a dumb question. Why do you need a plow? Don't ya'll have City, County, or State road crews that plow yall's roads?

Sure do, but who plows out all the businesses, parking lots, apartment buildings, banks, grocery stores, gas stations, not to mention all the residential homes and developments???
Most Landscaping companies up here do landscape work in the summer and plowsnow in the winter.

Wow, that's some serious hardware. How much does the front end squat down when the plow is raised up? I think I would be inclined to go with a beefier set of coilovers rather than a leveling kit. My winch mount and winch weigh in at just over 200 lbs and I have SAWs on order.

I thought the owners manual said plows are not to be used with the titan?

Well....yeah.....the owner's manual says so, but so does every other manufacturer for their non-heavy duty trucks :-). I bought my truck as a work truck and it will certainly see work, all year round!!!! I'm not too worried since it's lighter use, not big commercial projects. We had about 16" of snow last week and it handled it without even a hiccup!
As far as the suspension goes, I'd say it compresses about 1.5-2" when I raise the blade...that's why I figured a minilift would help. Do you all think coilovers would be a safer choice?
