You can simply reuse the stock carrier. Knock out the studs, and redrill holes for them higher up, mounting one on top and two on bottom. Make it so the tire barely runs the bumper when closing the tailgate, then the bumper will help support the weight when the tailgate is closed. Trim the rubber bumpers between the tailgate and spare as needed.
The relocation bracket is nice, but it also moves your tire away from the body, which adds leverage and is harder on the hinges.
