This is the correct and only answer.

A half a slip tank of diesel works wonders, and if you get stranded in the wilderness you can burn it to keep warm or send smoke signals.

2 to 4 bags of traction sand for me usually. Get the weight of a couple hundred pounds and if needed you got the sand to help if you get stuck on ice and snow. All ways have a couple shovels strapped in the back also. 2 - 20 ft tow straps also. You never know.

After the 5'ver gets put away for winter, the full canopy goes on. I find it adds enough weight to make a difference. It's not super heavy, maybe 200lbs? but it's enough that I find I don't need to add much else. Always add a sand bag just in case when we go out sledding, but that's all.
We have a couple side walk blocks that go in the 1/2ton shop truck. It stays outside all winter, in no time snow and ice bury them and freeze them in. They help lots being its only a 2 wheel drive.

I've got snow tires and auto 4 wheel drive. I just leave it on that pretty much all winter so it's there when needed. I'll throw 4 sandbags in back to add a bit more weight but that's about it. I don't strap the bags down. Figure they aren't deadly like steel plates might be.

I made a wood frame out of 2x10 and its ratchet strapped in place over the rear axle, 3 sand bags in there and haven't had any issues in the snow so far
