Glacier plow lift bar
Here is a series of pics of my setup. In a different post I posted about bending my lift bar for the plow and the retainer clip on the winch hook. If you look closely you can see the gouges in the brushguard. Following suggestions from others I removed the lift bar and installed a quick clip. (I'm sure this clip is the weakest link - but it is rated for 350lbs. If it breaks I'll just get a heavier clip).
If you look at the last pic you can see how the plow's back support slides just outside the brushguard. I am thinking of bolting a block of rubber inside the plow support (both sides) that way when I raise the plow all the way the rubber will come up to the brushguard.

I don't see any need to lift the plow that high......When I'm plowing I just lift it a few inches off the ground....I guess when I'm stacking I lift it a bit higher....I think they need to make these plows sit further forward so give more room...Unless I take the brushguard off, Mine slightly hits the crossbar when angled to one side....

It's not neccasarily a need to raise that high - rather when you are pushing up a banking the plow rides up past the lift height.</end quote></div>
Gotcha........Your plow looks pretty beefy....I like it.....

I have noted any flexing in the mount - and I have hit a bank VERY hard. That what broke my winch hook, lift bar, and gouged my brush guard.
No need to get the hawse fairlead with synthetic if you use a NEW roller fairlead. The issues arises if you put synthetic through a fairlead that was gouged by a steel cable. Mine is factory with synthetic/roller fairlead and WARN sells their synthetics with roller fairleads.

Nice setup 5 J's. That Moose plow will be my next plow.
Hows the Moose mount holding up underneath the quad? Any bending or flexing?
Have you considered getting a machined fairlead for that synthetic rope? Those steel rollers might fray that rope prematurely.</end quote></div>
