I have a GMC Sonoma and it is backside wheel drive. I am using plenty of wheat to weigh it down but do not know how much I should be using in directive to get the best traction. I also dod not want to stress the truck more than it requirements to be. Thanks for any help.
Answers: If I remember correctly i.e. a half-ton truck. So no more than 1000 pounds overall, including you, the sand bags, and whatever/whoever else you are hauling. I'd start next to one or two bags of sand (about the 50 ponds size), and slowly work up from within. It shouldn't take plentifully to make a difference. Just remember, placement of the stacks will help more than basically more weight. Put them as far posterior as you can while keeping the weight centered moved out and right.
If your trying to get the best traction for the snow within a 2 wheel drive P/U. Here's what I own done for years and work's GREAT. First see what the truck is designed for 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, 1 ton. Yours sound's like a 1/2 ton witch = 1,000 lbs. Then steal that number and divide it by 50% = 500 lb,s. Now take 60 % of that counterweight (300 lb's) and line the bag's from front to backside along cab and the and the other 40% (200 lb's) between the inner fender well's (Back tires) you don't want any freight past the pay for tires. If you get a bit lose the weight will conduct yourself like an apple on a stick and throw you extensive. And by putting the weight aganst the hackney cab you are putting some of the weight on your steer tires. They entail traction too. You can put more weight surrounded by there but I would not jump over 750 lb's more or less but dived it 60/40 and never go beyond the rear axel. There are so several varilbels to tell you what is best. How your truck set's (spring condition), The condition of your tires. But if you start in attendance and try what I'm saying and supply a little at a time till you return with to the max you will know how you'r truck handels the best
