Most of today's lumber is crap compared to the quality and strength of lumber 30 years ago. A stud grade 2X4 should never be used as a floor joist. For your application, 2x6's spaced 16" are minimum. If you plan to store hardware or heavy stuff, you'd better go to 2X8's (16" OC). The floor joists in a house are usually figured to carry a load of 50#/sq ft. You can easily exceed that by storing hardware, and not very much of it either.

I use to build houses.
