Throw something heavy in the bed of a truck, or trunk of a car. Just put enough in so your front bumper remains level or slightly above level with your back bumper. That way you have down force on your rear and retain steering control. This works well for trucks and rear wheel drive cars. I'm aware of that, but it has heavy duty supension, I addes 400 lbs, with good tires and it has posi=traction, still to light in the rear end, is there anything else to do.

Is 4 wheel independent suspension the same as all wheel drive?

No. Two very different things. Independent suspension just means that you don't have a solid axle running between the wheels.. All wheel drive is a traction control mechanism which engages, disengages, locks, and unlocks all four wheels to provide constant traction and forward driving force.

What is the difference between four wheel high and low?

Four wheel drive high is used for everyday purposes such as driving on a snow packed road or light off roading. Four wheel drive low is for special circumstances such as getting out of deep mud and snow or towing a trailer up a steep hill. Four wheel drive should never be used on bare, dry pavement. Use two wheel drive in this circumstance. You will completely ruin your transfer case by using four wheel drive on pavement.


Why 4 wheel drives are better than 2 wheel drives?

Is it a good idea to drive in 4 wheel drive in snow?

It's generally better since the forces are spread out over a larger area, twice as much than that of a two wheel drive. Tyres make a big difference though, better to have chunky ones for the snow to allow more grip. It's generally a good idea not to go out in the snow though unless you really need to.
