Spare Tire
Thinking of getting a camper but my spare stays in the bed. Where do you put your oversized spare? I've got a 35" all terrain. Thanks Joe

Something that has not been mentioned is the height of 35" tires may make loading and unloading of a truck camper difficult due to the height. The GM's will not fit 33's without modification or a lift kit, so I assume this truck is sitting on tall tires and a lift.
These 35" tires may not be rated sufficiently for carry a camper with all the features that are desired and you may need to scale back your wants or go to heavier rated commercial tires.
Your lift may may also not be the best choice for hauling a camper. Many are designed to allow for more wheel travel by using softer suspension components. This will result in unwanted sag and sway when loaded.
Another point is that if he has aftermarket bling wheels many are not rated for the loads a 3/4 ton truck will see.
That was the reason I hunted around until I found the oddball sized (305/70-18), load range E, 35" tire that would fit on my stock F350 wheels.
