weight can be anything, most usefull is sand bags not only do they work, but if you do get stuck the sand bags can be cut open and the sand used to make a 'road' to help you get unstuck , you can also use sand from a sand and gravel pit and fill trash cans too, but strap them down and i mean with at least 2 nice big yellow straps and ratchets for each can,those cans are very heavy and if they break loose they will destroy your truck! weight needs to be from the axle center-line forward, not behind it, you also need some weight on the front to help brake and steer too, as important as weight is, the tires are also as important, in snow and ice you want a narrow aggressive tire like a mud and snow tire with open tread and sidewalls not a all season tread most of them load up with snow and wont self clean , the 3rd part of the formula is driving skill, a properly equipped 2wd with a skilled driver can go almost any place on-road, within reason, that a 4x4 can , people will argue that but i spent most of my life doing just that, and i live in the mountains not the flat, there are online training courses you can study to learn how to drive on the slick stuff, remember for the first 50 years of the auto there were no 4x4's for the citizens, it took wwll for the advantages of all wheel drive to hit the main stream gi's returning from battle, having driven jeeps and trucks with 4x4 wanted the same go anywhere ability they had in the military, the rest is history
