Once again thanks everyone for all of the good info. I never seriously considered going naked.... as in no mounted spare. My local tire guy found me a wheel for $100 and I ordered another Michelin so the spare will match the other 6. I am having them add valve stem extensions to each wheel and will top off the duallies with my Tire Trakker sensors. I will order two more the front.
Got a heavy duty bumper mount for the spare at La Mesa RV for $33. Last stop today will be Harbor Freight for a 6 ton bottle jack and matching jack stand. I'm not concerned about the bumper supporting the weight of the spare, here are a couple of shots of the bumper/Reese 5,000# tow hitch. They are bolted to the chassis with 6 - 3/8" bolts. This thing is literally built like a tank. :B
