Default Winter driving

Hey guys, with winter right around the corner I'm wondering about how much weight to put in the box. Are sand bags wedged between the wheel wells over the rear axle a good option?

I'd go about 100 lbs if you can. Sand bags over the axle will work fine.

Also try to go to lowes and get bags of 3/4 gravel. They wont get sand all over your bed, and a bags only like 6 dollars for 60lbs. You can always use gravel in the summer after that.
