The snow plow manufacturer or installer can
assist you in determining the amount of rear
ballast required, to help make sure your
snowplow/vehicle combination does not exceed
the GVW rating, the front and rear axle ratings,
and the front and rear weight distribution ratio.

The total vehicle must not exceed the GVW

Q:
What is front axle reserve capacity, and
how do I calculate it?
A:
Front axle reserve capacity is the difference
between your front Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) and the front axle weight of your
vehicle with full fuel and passengers. Basically,
it is the amount of weight you can add to
your front axle before reaching your
front GAWR.
The front axle reserve capacity for your vehicle
can be found in the lower right corner of the
Certification/Tire label, as shown.
