How much weight are you loading for winter driving?
I was thinking it would be wise to either get some large sand bags or kitty litter for traction weight for our winter season. The question is- how many pounds should I use?

I usually put between 300-500 lbs, depending on how many sand bags I feel like tossing in. The more I put, the better the results usually are.

NONE!
I have about 500lbs of tools, etc in my toolbox........
But - if you have 4x4 - I wouldn't add very much weight at all, maybe a couple bags of sand. The more weight you have in the back pushing you - the longer it takes to stop.......You can GO with no problem in 4hi - but people forget that 4hi doesn't help you to STOP any better....
