Weight Distribution and Optional Ballast Kit

The World's TOUGHEST snow plow
What happens here
Blake highlights the importance of proper weight distribution in pickup trucks during plowing. Standard plows often lead to a 70% front/30% rear weight distribution, causing front tire wear and reduced rear traction. Arctic offers an optional rear ballast kit, which is adjustable and can add up to 1500 pounds of weight to the rear. This rebalances the truck to near-factory distribution (61% front/39% rear), preventing excessive wear on front axles and tires, and significantly improving traction during plowing. The ballast kit is sold separately, offering flexibility for users with or without existing rear weight (like salt spreaders).
Goal: Explain the importance of proper weight distribution and the benefits of the optional ballast kit.
