I had 150 lbs. I've increased it since then and have noticed a definate increase in control, though I still slip on black ice.

I got myself nice and stuck the other night too. I was out with a couple buddies and we were about 3 miles into the woods. Come to some new washed out areas that we couldn't get the trucks through. Go to turn around (we were in a clearing) only to get incredibly stuck given the depth of the snow. Came to find out my PVH hubs had given up the ghost on me. Got pulled out to the road, took the tools out of the back, cut the cover off the hubs so they could be engaged by hand, worked perfectly for the rest of the night.

Later on my buddy who was the first truck broke through some ice and landed in about 2 feet of mud. Took 3 trucks to get him out.
