It may help. I have them on mine and was going to do the blade but decided against it. Keep in mind they have a very low clearance and only have so much power. Any significant snow fall will cause it to struggle. If you are simply looking for something to push a couple inches here and there you will be fine. I have a 1/4 mile drive and ended up going with a blade on my compact. Good luck and post up some pics!
It would probably be a good idea since as dwost said, they have a very low ground clearance to begin with. Mine has the factory upgraded stronger absorbers, I believe it was part of the snow plow prep package.
