Sandbags in pickup bed, placement?

I say screw the hole theory of "over the axle or at the tail gate" sure if your hauling a fith wheel or something than precision placement would be a major factor.....but your goal is for some added traction.

if you running sand bags than I would basically try to position them as far back as possible.

HOWEVER, what I have ALWAYS done is utilize the white crap.

grew up here in michigan and this is how I have always done it whenever I was driving a 2 wheel drive truck in the winter.

don't bother with sand bags.

start shoveling that snow into the bed of your truck and fill it up, that will weigh it down!.

and if you are worried about the snow keeping contact with the metal and paint of your truck than throw a tarp in the bed before you pile snow in it.

also, doing it this way......if you feel like the snow is not doing the job well enough at weighing it down....you can go to the carwash and use the sprayer and spray some water at the snow to weigh it down from the added weight of the water and then pile more snow on top of it.

plus when you are done you do not have to do an back breaking labo because it will unload itself from your truck as the weather gets warmer and it melts away lol.
