If you need a lot of weight, you should change tires. Thousands of pounds create a nice pendulum effect, slinging you around on a turn. I personally don't like spinning across the road, but that's just me. Don't like scrap steel banging around in my bed. I tend to fasten things down. Since scrap steel doesn't help me when my tires are spinning on ice, I use sand and gravel instead. I made a wooden box that fits securely across the fender wells, and dump the sand/gravel/whatever in there. Keeps the weight where it does the most good, and can be used for other things as I need it. Ymmv.
