Do you have a diesel or a gasser? I put my 8 1/2' Fisher x-blade v-plow on my 2008 megacab, I was impressed with the front end when I lift my plow, not much difference between the sag with the diesel and my old 2500 gasser. My question to u guys that own the megacab is have you seen any problems with the roof kinking or windows blowing out on the megacabs due to snowplowing? I was told by guys who don't even own this truck that I will experience these problems for sure due to the size of the unsupported roof. I have to admit that I'm a little gun shy snowplowing now because of these comments. Any insight would be extremely helpful.

i have a diesel with a kore supsension it has different coils then oem......they are progressive rate while oem i think just has 2 rates. I thought it was gonna drop alot but it doesnt surpisingly but i want them in there so i don't put added stress on the coil that will make it wear out faster then normal.

I heard about the megacabs also i have never seen it happen yet but maybe try calling the dealer and see what they say.

I'd suggest putting them on BEFORE you start to notice your front suspension wearing out. By then it will be too late......

Sorry, I can't answer your question Bonus. I only have them on the rear. I don't think you would want them to give you any lift up front or you would not have any shock absorption.....

No, they don't give my truck any noticeable lift. They do seem to smooth out the ride all of the time...not just when carrying my plow.
