Winter is on the fast approach, blah, and I'm going to need to put some weight in the bed of mine to help with snow going.
Are Sand Bags the best option?

I would think that would be your best bet!

I use to shovel the snow into the bed (water is heavy) so when it warmed up i didn't have to unload it just mealted away, pays to be lazy some times work smarter not harder.

Water softener salt is also a good option. If you do get stuck, you can use the salt to help get you out.

Down here in the south we use a sheet of steel. We need traction pretty much year round. Lots of swamps and muddy roads.

Well since we dont have snow down here like we did 10-15 yrs ago really nothing but years ago when we did get the white stuff more frequently I done the same as Allen. Shoveled the snow from my driveway into the back of my truck. Worked pretty good for me.

Snow? Well, my truck is parked outside so I wouldn't have to shovel all that much!
I have a Regal box that's heavier than my Diamond Deluxe, so that could work and then maybe a few sandbags too.
Someone else suggested that I grab shovel and several bags and hurry on outside before the ground freezes over. Gotta love how resourceful hunters are!

For weight, I would say have someone stack a cord of wood in the back of your truck. Wood is plenty heavy and if you're stuck for a long time you can build a nice fire and wait for help. Having the wood also helps when you're stuck for an extra long time...and there's a family of beavers nearby. You can invite the beavers over to your stuck truck and offer them some wood to eat. They can eat the wood and you can eat the weakest beaver so it's a win, win.

just put some sand bags across the back axle. where the wheel well are. between that and the snow you should do fine. beware of the guys that hardly get any snow telling you how to do it. i live just 2 miles south of mckean. we get hammered. i also drive a triaxle in the winter. i will help you out. even if i have to get a buddy of mine to put a bucket of sand in your truck.
kelley

ps
only time i got stuck is,??????????, hmm, not in the winter, just, the last time i went out through the BRIAR'S. imagine that.
