Damn... wish I would have known that back then... would have switched to 4 wheel a lot more often!

Yes that was exactly the case. I would throw sandbags in the truck bed in the winter time just to help with the weight distribution. I did run into situations where the highway speeds were around 55/60 during light snow. I didn't want to put it into 4 wheel since the speeds are higher than 50...
