rear weight

Looking for ideas as of what to use as a weight in the box. My 2007 F350 with a long box is destroying my driveway when empty. I live on sand but I can't find bags for it.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Well, a Harley Road King always makes a nice statement.

20 cheerleaders?

The waitress staff at your local Hooters?



Not sure I understand your question. Why do you want to put weight in your bed?

No weight-No traction. I am bouncing all over on my driveway (steep hill) going up empty. Cheerleaders won't stay still.

Bouncing could be a plus with the Hooters staff..... but let's get back on subject.

Aside from grading the driveway or getting better tires, you could use this:

I'd just add a little antifreeze for winter use.

It is designed for use in the winter, that's when most of us need to add weight to the bed.
