Default elec. over hydro plow drawing too much power

95 GMC k2500, i just put a diamond 8ft plow on my truck. i pick it up and the dash lights dim, or the radio shuts off.
i was thinking of ways to get the power back, such as a bigger alternator or like an audio compasitor.
anyone done this or found a better way?

thanks!

You checked all the simple stupid stuff like clean connections on battery's and all the power and grounds for the plow controls, it's things like that that all ways eat my lunch.
