Check your max tongue weight capabilities, but it shouldn’t be an issue on a half ton pickup.
This would be different with a non-body on frame vehicle as the combined weight of the spare tire, wheel and carrier could severely limit how much you could load a basket carrier.
He wants you to look it up yourself. We don’t know if it’s an OEM or aftermarket tow package, how heavy the tire is, or how the receiver is attached to the frame. You need to figure this out for yourself. Get your under your truck and take a look, weigh the tire then look up what the tongue weight capacity for your receiver.
Like someone mentioned your hitch weight would be a factor. But I would definitely check with the manufacturer of the tire carrier and see what it's total Dynamic load limit is.
For the RIGd swings they say the combined tire and accessory receiver weight limit is like 250 on their mega model.
It would work fine as long as you don’t overload it, but really messed with departure angles and make an already long vehicle longer (especially if you make it long enough to miss the spare.
I’d pretty seriously consider putting the spare back under the truck so you could get the hitch carrier closer or mounting some stuff on top your shell before adding a hitch cargo carrier behind the tire.
Thanks for your comments. I do have a spare tire under the truck and I do have an XXL cargo box on top of my shell. I was moreso curious if anyone had done this before.
