How much weight should I put in the bed of my truck for winter? Everything on my truck is stock. Right now I have 280lbs of sand, 140lbs over each tire. I have another 140lbs I could put in, which would make 210lbs over each wheel.
It's a Ram Quadcab 4x4.
Let me know.
Thanks in Advance.

In southwest Missouri that what why we always haul around a spare fat girl. (We got plenty to spare) You get stuck, she gets in the back and starts jumping on the fenderwell that's spinning!
Just kidding.

i just let the bed fill up with snow, then when it melts a little and refreezes its like having a bed full of ice. helps alot

I put about 200 lbs of kitty liter. Kitty liter also comes in handy when you are stuck... get the tough rock kind

Hell, why not put loose "motar" style sand in there and then if you DO happen to get stuck you could use the loose sand for traction! : Just carry a shovel! Thios way the Fat chick can keep the cab warm for when you come back from the cold!! :rotfl:

I've found that cinder blocks work real good. I made a box that fit about 10 blocks and it worked great in the snow.
