Just be careful. That could be equivelent to two adults in your back seat. A little worse since it is no doubt behind your axle.

Just drive slowly and watch for bumps that might make you bottom out. See how much the car sinks when you put the salt in the trunk.

If you think it's an issue and damage will occur I'd go two trips.
