    Already did checked lowes, home depot, etc.. no plastic/mesh/whatever bags.

    Plus, dont want to deal with sand.

    And a full size dually would definitely ride better than a taco with a 3" lift. Lol.

    I gots dis mane. I've been researching. This is perfect for my needs. Uses water. Can place them anywhere. Doesn't slosh. Doesn't slide around. Won't freeze. Only 3" tall. Can still hold cargo on top of it.

    Yeah thats It. The ones I'm getting are the max pax. Two smaller ones that you put anywhere and stack. Equals 200lbs. And If it does freeze it wouldnt mess anything for me.

    Other than that was it pretty good josh?

    300 might be fine or 400. idk. before you buy I would test it. Buy some bags of sand the same weight and then drive with them and return them as long as you didn't open them.

    Lol. I'm lookin to soften it up, lower the rear a bit, and get better traction in the snow.

    you don't need traction in snow. you are 4x4. If you want more traction in snow buy skinnier tires like snow tires :cool:

    You want these to lower the rear. :p Buy some extended Defined Shackles. they will lower the rear and flex better and respond faster.

    removing the overload leaf will lower the truck but the ride will be the same. remove the Add-a-leaf that came with the procomp lift and you should be good
