I'm 4x4 and I have the same problem, and I'm on 35's with stock gears haha. I just put some sandbags in the bag for winter. I keep one thing of kitty litter if I get in a really slippery situation haha.

 

I keep some sandbags and then a couple of bags of salt in case I get in some ice

 

just get a limited slip.
I have to really get on it to make the tires spin even when wet.

 

Check your wheel alignment (caster, camber & toe-in) repack the wheel bearing and check front brake drag. Don't mix different tire types. Modern Tires should be replace after 6 yrs.

 

Go to your local bar and pick up a fat chick and her friend.

 

Lmao I was about to say go throw some fat chicks in the bed

 

A reg cab 8 ft bed vs a scab 6.5 ft bed has a big difference on gravel and wet conditions my 97 would hop and spin all over the place where neither my 00 or 99 do it

 

Ford vehicle only looks tough but it sucks when it comes to traction on sand, mud and gravel even on 4wd. To avoid spinning the wheel use the parking brake.

 

Ill back up some other comments kinda, my old tires where dry rotted all seasons with 50% thread left on em, after i replaced those, i could go up dirt piles at pretty decent angles. That i previously couldnt. I also have a tool box with 250ish pounds of material in it, a couple things to look at..

 

I'm not talking playing around I was meaning just daily driving
