Weight Distribution Q?

For all you guys out there that are carrying the spare some other place than the originally designed undercarriage location (4th gens at least), where are currently placing the spare?

I have recently added Axe/Shovel mounts to the driver side and will be mounting a Jackguard this evening to my safari rack. I was thinking that my spare tire should probably be mounted on the passenger side to help with weight distribution when wheeling so the driver side is not carrying the brunt of:
Driver
Son in back seat of driver side
Axe/Shovel & mounts
Heavy side of hi-lift jack

Or do you think it will even matter with such nominal increments?
Thanks for your thoughts...

I wonder if there is a place that you can go to where they will measure your weight distribution...kinda like what the manufacturers of sports car give out.
