I can't help think it would hurt moving your spare forward unless your at the limit of your trucks GVWR but even then you would only get a portion of the tire weight on your hitch. If you kept it close to your axles it really wouldn't hardly be noticeable on your hitch. My spare is mounted behind the axles on a winch. Actually thinking about buying a Bal Hide-a-spare bracket and see if I have room to mount it in front of my axles and hang both sets of patio steps on it. Of course I'll measure and see before I purchase it.
