When I ordered my truck I had the sno plow option installed at the factory, knowing I would be using the front of my truck for lots of cargo space with a TC. The plow frame is designed to carry well over what I would be putting out front. (Some Plows weigh well over 1000#) I had custom racks made for fishing, and a bike rack. I had my fabricator make these out of aluminum and, most importantly had them come out of plow frame with a "Z" bar attachment to give me enough clearance for your normal gas station dips n rises you encounter. As all ready mentioned, I try to avoid nite time travel. You can determine the height of your rack ( Z bar) if you have bike all ready picked out, this will be helpful for determining your line of sight. Using Plow frame option doesn't limit your weight carry capacity.
