Bed weight for winter?

[Crawdad]

This is true as well, and I DIDNT think of that. Just the centripetal force aspect. good thunk

Only time I ever used sand bags was the first 2 months I lived in Reno with a 2wd Ram. A coworker recommended I "throw a couple back there by the tailgate" but I really didn't feel the need for it. But a couple weeks later is when I bought that '10 OR with all the spacers. ALL .... the spacers... [emoji1787]
Still didn't need the sand bags anymore though... lol

*they even put a shim between the block and the leaf... o_0

However much a bed full of snow weighs.... haha

I usually don't worry about it in a 4x4 but you could get a few sacks of sand and toss them by the tailgate if your worried.

Just for the hell of it I keep a couple bags of sand in my bed. 60 pounds each. They cost like $6.00 at Menards.

Ive always put 3 or 4 50lb. bags of sand in my old tacos they were both 2wd a 97 and an 11’ and never had a problem in a lot of bad weather. I now have a 2018 4wd four door l/b and I plan to put a few bags in the back of it too. Good luck with your new truck.

I just put @OR17TRD in the back of my truck. I lose about 10 mpg with him riding back there but I never get stuck or fishtail.

How much weight do folks usually but in the bed of the truck to help in traction on snow. 200lbs? 300 lbs? Thanks.

Two bags of tube sand 60lbs each over wheel wells
