Will BRINE destroy A Truck??

What happens here

The presenter and a technician evaluate the necessity of a plow extension plate for the truck's snow plow. They measure the bumper height of the truck and compare it to a similar truck inside a shop, explaining that the goal is to determine the height difference. The technician notes that the existing plow mount is already at its lowest adjustment, suggesting an extension plate will likely be needed to achieve the correct plow height and angle for effective snow removal. He also mentions that new shocks will be installed to complement the upgraded springs.

Goal: Determine the required plow height adjustment and the need for an extension plate.

Tools and materials

Ford F-250 Super Duty Lariat Ford — The truck being measured
New Shocks — To be installed as part of the suspension upgrade for better ride quality and plow support
Tape Measure — Measuring the truck's bumper height

okay um what are you thinking looking at the height we will probably need to do extension plates this is something that we do on a pretty regular basis for guys that do have lifted features on their trucks okay and looks like you already have is this a western mount on it yeah yeah we're running an Arctic on this one okay so when when you're looking at trying to determine if you've got got to put uh extension on to it where are you measuring so we actually take it our measurement there's two different ways to do it I know on this one what we'll do is we'll actually go measure the truck that we have inside yep and we'll see where we're at but bottom of the bumper Heights decent that'll tell us the difference between the two between the two and we know we're bottomed out on this one in here so that'll tell us if we're higher we do have to drop it with an extension plate oh we already bottomed out on already I believe on the last adjustment hole on the on your guys' truck you don't want it any lower than it's at and so we'll take that measurement cross reference that one and we'll find out with some math okay math Works let's go math don't lie okay so let's find out the Moment of Truth here plow is down weights off the front end it's not lifted right we have no down pressure where we at M 22 and 1/2 22 and 1/2 so we're about an inch different in height which means the yeah Will have to do a three run hold drop okay to set that where we need to at 15 and2 okay so that's something good to know so guys not getting out there right without an issue what what did we figure out we're an inch and a half um indiff so we will need a drop plate for that one this one sits just a little bit lower than that one so a little higher out there so when they when they put that other spring we'll probably want you to put the spring and bring it back and then bring it back so get exact height okay okay cuz what we do is like we'll get at the height that we we got and if it's a little bit one way or another this little ledge in here gives you a little slack changes three four different adjustments and there's
