Yes, if it weighs 75lbs, you just gained 75lbs of payload limit
Yup so why not try to recoup some of the lost weight right?Probably lost some payloads when you upgraded to 35s
Saving that little weight is not much gain when you look at the % numbers. You need to loose more than the weight of a tire to even notice any gain in capacity, but hey, if you don't need the tire, sell it.will removing my spare tire increase my payload?
it pretty much will take care of most of the extra weight the bigger tires addedSaving that little weight is not much gain when you look at the % numbers. You need to loose more than the weight of a tire to even notice any gain in capacity, but hey, if you don't need the tire, sell it.

Tires on the road are rolling unsprung weight. I guess it counts if you are going up a really really steep hill. The weight of the spare is in the pickup loading figure. If you are worried about the spare weight you are already overloaded. 75 lbs is a little over .6% of your truck weightit pretty much will take care of most of the extra weight the bigger tires added

The calculation includes the curb weight of the vehicle
In theory, these trucks can handle more than what the sticker says
The 5th Gen 1500 has a GVWR of 7100lbs. Class 3 is over 7000lbs in PA...so if you do not have your truck registered as a class 3...you will be getting a fine if your truck appears loaded.Coworker has a Chevy, half ton his owners card list the truck less then 7000 lbs. which here in Pennsylvania is a class 2 but he had the dealership register his truck at class 3 which doubles the cost his yearly plates, he thinks he’s driving a class 3 truck (3/4 ton) But he’s not. Any cop is going to use the weight from the factory.

Or more if you have an eco (#7200)!The 5th Gen 1500 has a GVWR of 7100lbs. Class 3 is over 7000lbs in PA...so if you do not have your truck registered as a class 3...you will be getting a fine if your truck appears loaded.
If the spare ISN'T GOING TO WORK due to upgraded tire size - then keeping it onboard serves no real purpose.
