www.sparetirecarrier.com is the highest quality one I've seen. There are cheaper alternatives for hanging one from your receiver. A Google search will yield a number of results.

Well it doesn't say it can't hold a 44" tire. I've seen these with some large tires. Exact size I can't say for sure.
You could always email 'em and ask if you are willing to part with $500+ to carry your spare.
You can still tow with the carrier in place, too. Not sure if it creates a tongue weight restriction or not.
I've not seen anything that will work with the existing doors or bumper. There are replacement bumpers that give you a barn-door style carrier. Using the stock fiberglass doors to try and support some of the weight probably isn't a good idea anyway.

snurtle why not go with a roof rack for your tire. Also what size lift are you running to fit those 44's. You must at least 12 inches of lift on that bad bot. I would love to see a pic of that setup. I can just picture massive multi resovoir shock sets and linkage set up. Any pics would be great.

Damn Snurtle. That is one big bad a_ _ truck. What size suspension lift is one there. Also did you raise the body. Now I see why you said in the other post 42's fit. Yeah when your truck is up in God country like that of course 42's fit. Your truck looks great. I would have no idea on what you could do. Maybe go to a fabricator wh could fab you out a hitch that allows for your spare to be carried while towing.

I bought a truck from this guy and it had an awesome swing-out tire carrier on it. He makes them for Excursions too.

Another option is:
Aluminum Bumpers - Tire Racks - Off Road Products - Aluminess Products, Inc.
They make a nice bumper and offer great support for what they sell but are not a low price option. In my case they configured the spare carrier for the tire I run then built it so that It could be easily modified to support other tire sizes. There are images of the bumper in my album.
