I added a rubber strip to the bottom of the blades. I used the cutting edge off a old county plow truck. The rubber is 1" thick and 8" wide, i let it hange down past the bottom edge 2".
With the rubber cutting edge it wont fall into cracks and won't scratch any surface. You won't need springs. Most road commision trucks use a rubber edge as to not destroy roads.
They set the rubber at 1" past the bottom for ice.
They set it at 3" for sloop. So i set it in between at 2" and it works great.
A new rubber cutting edge is like $600.00 and it is 8' long.
There is a company on Groesbeck high way in Roseville called NBC truck , they sell them.
Call and see what they have used or old that can no longer be used on road commision blades.
I got a new old style one for $100.00 that had been sitting for several years. They are heavy !!! I cut it to size on the table saw with a coarse blade , i put the orignal cutting edge back on to hold it in place.
I have done 2 blades like this and there on there 3rd year and zero ware on the rubber.
