During reveal of the JT Gladiator, Jeep made it a point to mention that the wheels on the Gladiator were strengthened and given a higher load rating to handle the hauling/towing that the truck is expected to see in it's lifespan.
One thing that I do not know is how to decode the information on the back of the stock wheels. There are many numbers and codes stamped on many places of the back of the wheels. But which one has the load capacity contained within?
Do any of you guys know how to decode the data stamps on the rear of the wheels? I'd like to compare them to JL Wrangler wheels to see if there was, in fact, a load rating increase. I can confirm that the weight of the wheel itself is the same, so if the load rating is higher they must have done it through some cool metallurgy.
