    dont know F/R but Weight w/o gas and water 2,337 lbs

    I'd have to guess its weighted probably 60/40 F/R or so...

    I would get the F/R numbers for you when I am done, but mine won't be stock.

    Its no rush I was jsut doing some figuring for some different springs. I estimated front weight at 1500 and rear at 1000. So hopefully that will be close enough.

    Just a thought, if you have a local scrap yard you can take metal scrap they usually have a scale to weigh trucks and such, you make be able to get them to take some weight measurements for you for maybe a small tip since their time is the only cost. Or maybe a local truck scale.

    Jason, don't know about the county you living in there. But in most counties the is a weights and measures guy, nowadays they're usually outfitted with suitcase scales like the highway patrol has to weigh big trucks. Look him up tell you need to get a weight in order to get a title. Might even not cost you anything. hth

    I got 1862lbs. for the front and 1435 rear, drivers front was 138 heavy and pass rear was 39 heavy. but I really want to do it over as the jeep was sitting on a slight angle, front down and on a lawn, no driver (not as scientific as I like). Oh, I have a winch, V8, 4 spd., dual batts. in the back pass. side, 5gal. jerry, spare and tools and.....etc.
    Is this to an*l?
