My 2003 is a regular cab and 2 wheel drive, stock rims and no lift , how much weight do i need in the bed for the soon to come winter snow? I do have almost new BFG All terrains

 

Not sure. Where are you located. Last winter for me I had my stock rims/tires(which had like 60% tread left) on through the whole winter and had no problems. Even though I have a 4x4 I didn't use it. I located in the northern most town in CT. Our winters can get brutal but there is no need to drive in the middle of the storm. I would say just put a couple of sand bags in the bed and you should be fine. I think it might say in the manual. Plus if you do slide you can practice your drifting.

 

When I lived up north, I always threw three to four 50 lb. bags of sand between the tire well humps. Even though I have always had 4x4s.

Nice benefit is by using sand, you can always split open a bag and use it to get traction if you get stuck...

 

Yep, get 2 birds with one stone with some sand.

 

Just went yesterday to Home Dumpo and bought 100lbs for the back of my Exploder and 250lbs for my truck.
Being you have a 2wd and a reg cab, I would put 300lbs back there as long as you don't use your bed all the time. if so, then maybe 4 bags(200lbs) would be easier.

I noticed a huge difference with 250lbs back there.

 

how much is a bag of sand from homeboy depot?

 

http://www.shurtrax.com/..This product is great. You can stack 500lbs on it without a problem and in the summer you just drain it and it takes up very little space in the garage. With just thee inches of water it add 400lbs directly over the rear axle with no shifting or sliding around.

 

My bed just always has my work equipment in it, I use that for weight, I have about 300lbs of equipment in the bed of my truck at any time, give or take a few pounds.

 

I date fat chicks in the winter.

 

200/4=50lbs per bag.
