I had to pull my spare a couple of weeks ago to work on the exhaust, and never got around to putting it back up. I was chatting with another truck guy around here, and he said I should leave it off. He said because I have a larger than stock tire size mounted, I can't use the smaller tire as a spare. It wouldn't hit the ground correctly, and it wouldn't be spinning as fast as the others, which could make driving unsafe. Therefore leaving the spare tire off, would save me from carrying around the extra weight of an unusable piece of equipment.
Any opinions? I have never touched the spare in over 5 years, except for moving it to work on something else, and only twice to do so... If leaving it off could save me anything, I'll do it.. It just sits next to my shed right now, collecting dirt, dust, and cobwebs..
