You could always ask Cyberfire where he is at on making a spare tire mount option for this http://diy4x.com/cart/index.php?route=product/product&path=33&product_id=140 
Then there is always this approach, keep the factory bumper, have a spare tire and jerry can mount that swings out to allow you access to your tailgate http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=282164
Hope it helps!

To add to this, I happened across a dude today while looking at axles that does really nice tube work. He had a few bumpers for our year trucks lying around and they looked really stout. Shoot me a PM if you want his #.
Wow, that's pretty nice. And yes. PRICEY. It's not even powdercoated or painted for that price either. Makes me want to bust out the Hobart Handler and DIY. I wonder if they would sell me the specs on that thing?
What size tires are you running?
A word of warning about the swing-out tire carriers. The spindles mounted in single-shear have been known to fail over time from fatigue. Whether DIY or having one built, get them to do a large bolt in double-shear or something similar.
The easiest thing is probably just making a fixed carrier that sticks in the receiver hitch.
