How much weight do you guys put in you truck boxes for the winter?

I live in B.C Canada and have a hard enough time taking my truck on a dry gravel FSR let alone trying to drive when the snow hits. The tires just always want to spin. Even with my new Timberline M/T's. I tkink its going to take between 600 - 800 lbs to do the trick for winter. What do you think

You could always try THIS

 

I am going to try that but with asphault. I can launch dirt bikes and motor cycles from the back of my truck then. Plus I will have weight in the bed for winter.

But anyway....get a couple sand bags, lay them between your wheel wells and enjoy.

 

I'll stick with sand bags

 

Just make sure whatever you use to tie them down some way so they are secure. Though none of us think about accidents, it would be a bummer having 800 lbs of something heading your way through the back window.

 

4x4 will get me going pretty well.. i don't really want any more weight on the truck to try to slow down, but i have a 315 spare in the bed, plus the truck cap, and a few 100'lbs of tools in the toolchest back there too...

 

Maybe this will give you some ideas: https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...ad.php?t=79737 although it did get off topic rather quickly.

 

Thanks for the link, it helped a little.
Mainly I was looking for How much weight, not what to use for weight. I'm going to use tire tubes filled with sand.
There is no way in snip I am going to pour a 3 inch concret slab in the bed of my truck .
My ATV in the back of the truck makes the ride feel a lot nicer, better traction off road as well. I am thinking of just duplicating the amount the ATV weighs, approx 750 lbs
