You may want to ballast the front tires as well. It will help keep the front end down when you have weight on the hitch and will improve stability on side hills.
Calcium chloride has pretty much fallen out of favor. Rimguard (sugar beet juice) has largely replaced it, although it's quite expensive and overkill for down south. My tires are filled with windshield washer fluid; the dealer I bought them from doesn't like Rimguard.
