- 97 ford explorer sport
hi my name is nick and i am new to this forum. i just bought my first ford explorer. it is a 97 ford explorer sport with the 4.0L ohv and it is completely stock. i was just wondering if i could put a snow plow on the front of it to plow my drive way and a few others. i am not looking to make money with it. i was just wondering if anyone out there has done it or is plowing with an explorer right now. i have talked to a couple of mechanics and they tell me it is not a good idea because they say the upper ball joints can take it and the torshin bars may break. Now i have never seen an explorer with a plow on it but i have seen lots of ford rangers with plows on them all the time and they seem to have the same style supenstion. so i am hope u guys could point me in the right direction because i cant decide if i should put a plow on it or not. and if u have any pics of a plow on a explorer if u could please post them too so i can see ur set up that would me great. thanks.
