SL3 L.E.D. With Ice Shield
SL3 headlight package, standard on every BOSS truck plow, shines brighter and farther than traditional halogen packages and is equipped with Ice Shield Technology. With best-in-class 100% LED lighting, integrated with Ice Shield Technology to prevent snow and ice build-up on the lens, these headlights use half the amperage of halogen systems and have an 8-10 year life expectancy. The SL3 headlights are also 40% smaller than SmartLight2 lights and yet much more powerful with the signature BOSS premium look you expect. Not compatible with Cold Front Technology Electrical System.

Enclosed Hydraulics
Delivers speed and reliability and is protected from the elements to prevent corrosion and hydraulic freeze-up.
Reinforced Moldboard
Diagonal cross-bracing and formed bottom channel increase blade rigidity.
Chainless Hydraulic Lift
The chainless hydraulic cylinder lifting system from BOSS uses a chainless, hydraulic lift system, which greatly reduces snowplow bounce and provides full float capabilities.
Full Moldboard Trip
The entire blade trips forward when obstacles are encountered to protect the truck and plow from damage.
Optional D-Force
Improve backdragging performance by adding D-Force to your new Super-Duty, Standard-Duty and HTX straight-blade plow, or your new 8'2" DXT and 9'2" DXT v-blade plow. D-Force improves scraping performance while backdragging by maintaining a consistent hydraulic down force powered by a hydraulic accumulator. D-Force is an optional accessory on new truck plow purchases and must be added at the time of purchase. D-Force includes D-Force specific plow box and controller. Retrofit kits are not available. (Excludes EXT, Heavy-Duty, Trip-Edge and Drag Pro plows.)

Great system. Easy to hook and unhook. Great for my half ton Ram. Paired with a leveling kit and handles the weight with no problem.

Pretty good I think things would be different. I would like things to be different. I wish it wouldn’t be so jerky. I wish I could control the hydraulics so it doesn’t slam down and slam left and slam right it would be nicer if it was a smoother transition.

Well I am not happy with the service and the system works great when it works. It seems to have a mind of its own. It stops working then it works like it should. Nobody seems to be to concerned enough to call me back and ask if I'm still having problems with it. Now that we are warming up I guess I will deal with next winter. So I guess that's all I have to say. Customer service is gone so I guess I will deal with it.

Great plow and seems to work well. My only complaint is that I haven't found a good way to hang the plow remote. It sits on the floor of truck because the curvature of the dash molding is not compatible with the mount disc provided with the remote.
