I'd be interested to learn more about how they come up with those numbers. It does seem kind of arbitrary. I suspect that it's more about liability than engineering. Tires are rated at 3,970 a piece to that's not the limiting factor.
I'm really not worried about the legality of it. I understand it's not ideal. In 25 years I have had one flat tire. I carry a patch/plug kit. I also carry a fire extinguisher even though I've never needed it. A fire extinguisher weighs a couple pounds and can be stowed under a seat. A 37"...
I should clarify-definitely not a donut. I mean just using the stock full size spare versus buying another aftermarket wheel with a 37" tire to match the size of the tires on the truck. Keeping the stock spare in the location under the bed where a 37" won't fit.

The stock suspension was horrible. I couldn't wait to scrap it. Thuren has a bunch of options and you can do just the front for around $700. With a track bar and rear shocks I was at about $1,400. It works perfect for what I do. I'm not trying to keep up with Raptors in the desert. I'm 90%...
I added the Thuren adjustable track bar to help keep the axle centered. Haven't noticed any issues. No adaptive cruise control on my truck so didn't have to mess with that.
I love the functionality of it. Not having to lean over bedrails to get stuff out of the truck is way nice. I kind of wish I would have spent the extra coin for an aluminum one but they are like triple the cost. I'm starting to see surface rust on some spots. I'm sure it will take decades to...
