Ok.. I've searched and searched can't find what i'm looking for.
I'm on the fence of getting a lift. I bought a snow plow last month to go on the truck.. Has not been installed yet. 8.5 meyer diamond edge. I am definitely going with a Cognito Lift. I would like to go 7" and run 35's but would that be too high? Should i go 4-6? i just dont want to get the 7" and it be to high to work with the plow.... Right now i am just leveled with 33's

people will say yah go for it, but i feel its too high. picture it this way. put a sheet of ply wood against the front of your truck look where the bumper is. probly close to the center on a stock truck. now lift it 7" yuor gonna be way higher on that same plywood. now imagine the truck pushing the same plywood. the plow is going to be low now try to push snow. your gonna have alot of weight against the front of your truck idealy you want to be directly behind that weight.

it goin to stress alot more on the front end where it mounts to the truck. frame etc.

alot of people will disagree, but its just the way i look at it.

I have a 4" with Fisher MM2 and it's fine. If I was higher though I wouldn't have enough adjustment to keep the plow frame level.
