What I used to do, when I lived in Michigan, was put in a 2x8 or 2x6 box the
full width of the bed behind the wheel wells and filled it with corse gravel
or crushed rock, not sand. Had a plywood cover to keep the snow and ice
out. Having it behind the wheels gave me the most traction for the weight,
and allowed it to be easy to reach when I needed to throw a shovel full of
gravel under the wheels. Sand would likely freeze solid with a little
moisture, and is not as good as gravel for traction in deep snow.

Ok, I feel stupid asking this, but this is my first truck, and my first
winter driving. I have a 92 CC 3.9L auto 4x2, and I am wondering how
many 75 lbs. sand bags to put in the back. I appreciate the help.
