Well, as I HAVE to carry 2 spares, being as my fronts are stock F150 5 lug, and the rears are F350 8 lug, my second spare is mounted in the bed just behind the passenger side wheel well. Dunno if it's stock, since I I cant look at the mounting points with the cheapo plastic bed liner in the way. LMC does sell bed mount tire carriers for these though.
