My HTS has been flawless and I have owned it for 3 winters on two different Rams. The current Rebel that it is on I didn't even have to install a leveling kit because there is enough ground clearance from the factory.

Thanks for the update, I think I am pretty close as my Laramie sits pretty low haven't measured yet but will probably add a 2" level just to help keep the squat from being so bad. Did you remove your active air dam for the install or just notch it?

Bumping this thread I finally got my Western HTS installed today, very happy how it turned out. Truck drives great with it just need some snow. Haven't had much so far in my area that averages 150"+ a year. Thanks to all that took the plunge before me.

Another option, I installed a SNOWAY plow on my Rebel. Easy install, still have tow hooks, plug and play wiring, wireless remote and plow has hydraulic Down pressure if needed.
Did they have to cut your bumper at all to fit?

I'm thinking of going this route one day.
IIRC The rebel has the same 4x4 system as the tradesman model, the one that doesn't have Auto, but is more robust.

I'm guessing the other bottleneck is the shocks, which would probably be solved by Falcon shocks (has a setting for "heavy equipment")

I have a Motofab 2” level in the front and a Timbren kit also in the front end. I only plow my long driveway nothing else so with the factory Bilsteins, level and timbren kit front end is not getting beat up.

I'm thinking I'll be in the same boat one day! large driveway, snowblower would take about a calendar year, even for a tractor.
.........Or.... with the comfort of a truck cabin, (you see where I'm going with this) :LOL:

I used to see a guy in a 4th gen Ram with a snoway plow on it, a clear one. Really got me thinking.

Did the Timbren SES make a difference thinking about getting a set as well. My front doesn't sag very much but if it helps reduce some additional strain I would be for it. I only do my driveway as well, have a tractor with snow blower but takes two hours to clear and in wind and cold no fun. With my Ram/Plow can do it in 10 mins in heated cab with heated seats and radio. Had about 10 inches the other day did great.
