Should I add weight to the front of bed or leave it alone? Truck is stock.

What purpose would adding weight do? do you mean for sled pulling? driving in winter? what?

Considering this was posted in the sled pulling forum...I would say yes, add some weight to the front of the bed.

The next time i pull ( if so). I was thinking of adding some weight to the bed, thats what really hurt me my first time, i Was a light truck. I have 55Gal Drums full of materials we use. I might just borrow 2 of them, 550 Pounds each..Think that will help?
