I had to mod mine a bit since my Jeep is lifted 3". I added extended bump stops in the front because the weight of the plow when its up is pretty heavy.
If you buy a used plow (mine was) don't buy the old cable control style. Mine is control by wire. Newer ones are control by wireless. Used look for none beat on plows. I store mine indoors so mice and rain can't get at it.
Wireless? That sounds interesting. I am looking at an 86 3/4 4x4 right now, I will have to check the frame bracing.
