Thanks everyone for the replies on the winter weight, seems like some of you
have around 300 like I do and then Jon, Rich, & Jay put 500-600lbs in
theirs. I don't think mine could handle the weight!!! I was looking at her
today thinking she dropped around 2-3 inches with just 320lbs. If I put in
600lbs I'd have a taildragger!!!!!!! That and the gas mileage has already
dropped 2 mpg. I don't know if it is from the extra weight or the Flowmaster
and K&N backfired! I stayed out of it this tank and the mileage went from
19.7 to 17.7, can't win. Does sound better though! Thanks, John.

> I know other folks have used a lot less, but when I drive my Dak
in the winter, I put around 600lbs in the bed. (Its a '96 club cab
V8 5-spd.) The traction in the winter is really bad so I might have
overcompensated a bit, but that's what I have been using and it seems
to work for me.
