JL weight distribution %

[Zon]

Does anyone know the weight distribution F/R on Wrangler JL? I’m interested in the sport 2 door manual soft top but that’s what I have. Please post any weight distribution information you may have.

It's $10 to $15 to weigh it on CAT scales. That'll be significantly more precise than whatever is published for a generic Wrangler.

My 24 JLURX weighed on race scales (+- 1 lb), full tank of gas.
Front 2820
Rear 2447
Total 5267
Two door is got to be pretty close to 50:50 distribution.

Out of interest my JKUR was 4953 lbs with the same setup (35s, skid plates, sliders, winch). And had a stiffer frame, and no aluminum.

Agreed. Just make sure you are in the right spot on the scales when you take the weight and the slip will tell you the axles independently. The gap between the first and second scale pads should be around the middle of your Jeep.

Depends on the load out for a trip, but my 2021 JLU Diesel is roughly 50/50 now. Closer to stock (the first row) it was a little more front-heavy but since then, the rear seat has been removed and replaced with a platform and camping build out that's shifted more to the rear.

My 2 door soft top Rubicon with some mods (Next Venture stubby bumper, Badland Winch, Undercloak, Cavfab rear tire carrier, some other small weight additions like lights/swich gear/skids), full tank of gas was

Front 2420
Rear 2280

So 51% front 49% rear

I'd say your at about 52-53% front and 48-47% rear for a Sport with soft top. I've weighed my Rubicon with hard top and it was nearly 50/50 with a full tank of gas.

That's without me in it, plastic bumpers and backseat installed along with some recovery gear and other odds and ends.

I'm trying to figure out how you determined that your Rubicon was nearly 50/50 from a single number.

If anyone has more input of weights please divulge!

Last time I weighed mine at a CAT scale I'm pretty sure it was $11. If you really why to know, then make that "investment".

Here is the weight for my 23 Wrangler Rubi 2 Dr with Front and Rear Metal Bumpers, winch, skids, Mickey 35" Bajas on Method 106 Beadlocks, refrigerator, container with Hi-Lift Jack components, chainsaw, Torque Wrench, bottle jack, battery jump pack, and a dual battery system. This does not include my additional Trail weight gear such as passengers, traction boards, pullies and shackles, ropes, Air Compressor, and bag of tools. The total trail weight will be approx. 5960 pounds, not including driver and passengers.

Interesting.

I keep a fridge and my tools in the back, plus the 110+ lbs spare tire. Wish I could get mine weighed, I haven't seen any places that do.
Mines diesel, so I'm told its heavier in the front than the gas engines.

Truck stop, materials yard, highway weigh station (if your state allows passenger vehicles to roll up).

See if there's a scale in your area:
