Yes the mobile tire techs can swap your unmount spare on to a undamaged wheel. If you can find a low cost spare go for it. Wrap in with the heavy shipping clear plastic cling wrap to seal it up which will help extend the tires life. Under the bed, if it fits, is a good storage area.
If you want to good all in a mounted 19.5" spare will fit between the frame rails behind the fuel tank. You need to rig up some way to hold it in place until the day comes to use it. Just keep it wrapped or it will slowly rot and be useless when the day comes that you need it.
