A Spare tire should hold about 9 gallons of water with anti-freeze
So 72lbs of water plus the weight of the rim and tire, like a tractor tire
Be 100lbs at least
And you could still use it as a spare, lol, although hard to move around, and drive slowly
Not sure how much weight the spare tire wench is rated for....................lol
I like sand, yes water resistant bags of sand, in the bed, 100-200lbs behind the axle, you have other issues if that causes steering or handling problems
2x 100-150lb cast iron rear tractor wheel weights would have about the same footprint as a Ranger spare tire...
