Mine is a 72 K10 longbed, TH350, 4x4, 3.08 gears, 30" tall BFGs, and an 8' Western Pro (Unimount with Ultramount adapter). I usually use low range. I added a third leaf to the front suspension and I run 600-700lb of ballast in the box. Works great! My limiter is traction, but I have tire cables to solve this.
The 8' plow barely covers the width of the truck with the blade angled, so I wouldn't use a 7.5' without adding wings to avoid busting your own track.
