I need to add about 900lbs to the truck for pulling this year. I pull in the work stock class so I can't hang weights out the front end. Give me some Ideas on how I can add weight and make it work for me.

Exactly what they said. I put one in the floor on the in the front passenger side and two in the floor in the back and seven under my toolbox.

Most guys use suitcase type tractor weights, I have used any combination of tractor weights, chains, dumb bells, tools, 40lb bags of water softener salt, fertilizer bags, any thing you can find cheap and heavy, preferably not fluid, anything that sloshes around could hurt you

I looked at buying some suitcase weights but man they are spendy. Thanks for all your help.

they are expensive, hence the other suggestions although I wouldn't by 200lbs of fertilizer if you don't have a yard, or 400 lbs of water softener salt if you don't have a water softener. but you get the idea be resourceful, I have found dumbbells and workout weights for very cheap at yard sales or on craigslist

When I was pulling WS i bought 80LB bags of quickcrete, only $3.60 a bag and you can wet them to harden them up so the bags dont bust on ya, or pour in to a form of your choice.

Fatties. You need a fattie or maybe 2. I have 2 patent pending setups that will work for you.

Version 1 :
I suppose you weren't bright enough to pull with a van, so just imagine this in the bed of your truck.

Version 2:
You will need an adapter to let you run a cargo carrier and a hitch, but scientific NASA proven results here.

I Have plenty of bait options available for attracting the fatties too. Contact me via pm since I'm not a vendor.
