That should be good, I have 4 70lb sand tubes in my 2003 Supercab 4X4 and it seems to do the trick. The more weight the worse gas mileage so you don't want to over do it.

if the four are not enough then you might look at tire pressure before adding more bags. A lot of traction is gained by a small drop in pressure. Especially if running at max for MPG. 50psi to 25psi is a huge gain in tire patch on the ground.
