Tim: I used to put the complete set of 12-100# front end weights from my Farmall 1066 in the bed of my 3/4 ton Chevy. They were only 2" thick and the 12 completely filled box thus they didn't move around. It allowed me to haul loads of hay and feed without removing weights. I never hauled much more than a ton in winter.

These guys only adding 400# may as well have nothing. I had my 3/4 ton springs heavy for pulling trailers in summer. With winter frost heaves it took the 1200# to make the old Chevy ride smooth, let alone be good on snow and ice. My second 3/4 ton Chevy had a tool box and 150 gallon diesel tank in back. These trucks were 2 wheel drive.
