The plow (Meyer) carton is mounted to the frame. The clearance from the bumper to the plow blade is plenty. No need for concern from the crunch points or the airbag for that matter. Unless of course you hit a brick wall doing 55!!!!

I service a hotel with a 450 parking spot lot, this is all continuous from beginning of snow to final snowflake. Wranglers are great plow vehicles for parking lots. Check out the Meyer Drive Pro. By the way, these were /are my daily drivers and they are all still going strong.

Also FYI: the Meyer Drive Pro is a Class 1 commercial plow, I don't think the Snowway's are.

The crush points are on the frame. To avoid the crush points you need to attach the plow behind the front axle. You will damage the frame at 8mph if you attach the plow forward of the axle.

We made the first Mont for a JK in house and then sent pics to Boss and they worked their design off of ours. So Boss is also making a JK plow setup and you can get a Polly blade and the thing weighs nothing and the snow doesn’t stick to it.
how far down does the front end sage with the boss poly blade on it?

Given the normal (heavy) weight of a plow, I'd imagine that you'd have enough front-end sag to warrant some spacers up front to balance the Jeep during plow season...

Default JK Plows

I just ordered a mount for a Boss plow for my JK. I had heard it would be out in November, but it just came out. Now there are about 6 companies that make plows for the JK.

Over the years we have sold every kind of blow out there and Boss by far has the best product on the market.
