Pic is just from google images since I couldn’t find an example of it happening in action. I’ve seen it several times on Snoqualmie pass that typically on the down hill sections, snowplows will raise their bed all the way. Why would they do this? Wouldn’t that be way worse for their center of gravity?

That is my thought. Trucks of all kinds are front heavy only. Downhill in icy conditions is especially dangerous.

Not only the engine, but the weight of the massive plow.
