I saw this on TRUCKS one weekend and thought it was pretty cool. Separate compartments to keep the water from swishing all over and tough enough that they were throwing everything at it and it would not puncture.

that is pretty sweet... but IMHO i dont think its worth it to carry extra weight just for a comfortable ride... everytime you go to use your bed your gonna hafta deal with that thing...

 

I don't think that the water "swishing" would be a huge issue durring a notheast winter...

 

that thing is pretty cool, I can see why some people would want it.... but 100 bones for "weight" in my bed?

 

Cabelas sells interlocking weights they call "puzzle weights" that are designed for pick-up truck beds. I don't know how much they cost but I'm sure you could find out on their web site. Otherwise, I'll rent you my mother-in-law.

 

hahahhaa...now that's funny

 

But if she's like the woman that may end up being my mother in law, it would take a hell of a loudexhaust oraudio systemto drown her out.....

 

Just another thought-----

Call up Kore Racing and see if they can set you up with a progressive spring and shock setup.

It'll cost more, but, then you have the comfy ride without preloading the springs to get it, and when you need to tow something or load the bed (dirt bikes?) you'll still have the load handling capacity..with nothing in the bed.

Just my thoughts-----

 

I always get 80# bags of quickcrete from Home Depot. In the winter time you can usually find it on sale for $1 a bag. $5 bucks will get you 400#

i always use sandbags....i had a couple 2x6 that i cut to length to fit inside the bed in front and behind the wheel wells and then threw the sandbags right over the axle...always worked good for me.....i usually used about 400# or so
