Get a hitch installed on the front of your truck and add a cargo carrier for your extra stuff. Many of my RV friends have found this works the best. Cargo carrier goes right into receiver when you need it, take it off when you don't.
Then put the spare on the back.
Don't see a problem adding a 'square bumper spare tire mount' just for the tire only, "IF" your bumper is attached properly and the bumper itself is cast steel and not some flimsy metal as some new TT's have.
This is the one I have. It is easy to remove the tire and does come with bike rack. I use the bike rack holder for my lawn chairs.
