I was able to find the OEM part number for the Chevy spare tire hoist but I was unable to find a weight capacity rating on it. The owner's manual for the 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the original hoist can handle the weight of a full sized spare tire but it did not mention an oversized 35" tire.

I recommend the Lippert Spare Tire Winch part # LC159056. The weight capacity of the Lippert Spare Tire Winch is 150 lbs so the weight of your tire and rim is not an issue. You do want to make sure you have enough space to install the winch and the oversized tire under the vehicle. The winch measures 4-1/4" where it bolts to the frame to the bottom. I have attached a photo for your reference along with the mounting hole dimensions.
