moose plow heavy metal not needed, but some of these newer plastic composite blades that weight next to nothing I can see the need for more weight in front otherwise the plow will not be heavy enought to not lift up while moving forward some.

I'm not familiar with what you are talking about but have been plowing with a moose plow for 8 years and never wanted any more down pressure with wet snow. I however used the ATV for some landscape work with loose dirt a couple years ago and I put some tractor wheele weights on the blade to dig down.

ther is a device that looks like a shock module ,it puts a xtra 150 lobs of downforce to the blade so in heavy snow it has increased ground contact....anyone use this ?

I am not understanind your issue. From my experience with over 10 years plowing with an atv, I loose traction way before not having enough downforce to move snow. This is with a blacktop driveway. When I move snow across the street to where I have grass, I ususally have to be careful with my downforce or I plow the grass up.
