Default How much weight in the back of my JK

Odd question..

We are ordering a large amount of grain for some homebrew. Bags come in 55lb format and the pick location is about 150 miles away..

How many bags do you think I could put in the back of my JK Unlimited? Not that it really matters but I've got AEV suspension.. I figure 5-8 will not make a different but going above 8 might start causing issues..

Anyone know the payload?

There should be two stickers on the driver's side B pillar.

One will indicate the max combined occupant plus cargo weight.
The other will indicate the max axle loading. The empty stock Jeep loads each axle with approximately 2,200 pounds.

You can do the math from there.

Excellent thanks I should have looked there.. I always look at the payload for a truck and never thought the Jeep would have the same

Thanks

Not sure of the answer, but as a fellow homebrewer.. how much could you possibly be saving on grains that it's worth the time and gas money in your JK? I generally get a 50lb sack of 2row for $50 at my LHBS.
