That sounds like a good idea. You may be able to find someone with just one wheel on ebay to keep the cost down. A 4000lb trailer should be no problem at all for your 4.8.

so obv its either a 315 tire or the 275 tire... so what if u only have a 275 tire back there and ur 315 went flat.. or opposite.. wouldnt that trip the computer out and make the awd possibly mess up

It should NOT matter since both 275 and 315 (oem tire size) have nearly identical overall rolling diameter.

I agree - the 275 should be more than adequate for a spare...

I'll try to tonight. IIRC it's a 17" spare tire and when I saw it I thought, hey this can't be right for a 4.8is? But it is NOT a mini-spare and I sure hope it isn't some yahoo that owned it before who swapped it out? Don't get me wrong, if it WILL fit I'd rather have that than a mini-spare.

I'll double check when the rig gets home. It's definitely not a 315 hahhaa. It's a 275 with a taller aspect ratio to keep the rolling dia the same so it should not matter.
