Princess Auto sells a tire mount that should do what you need. http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/heavy-duty-spare-tire-trailer-mount/A-p8112575e
If on the side I would have it on the non-road side, the less time spent close to traffic when accessing it the better.Also might be better lower down so if you ever want to transport something big and flat on top of the cage it won't be in the way.
I imagined it was going to go on the outside of the old location...Next you need to attach an ammo box to store tie-down rope, straps etc.

Plus with the Jeep spare on the back and the boats overhanging it, it would be more awkward to get to when needed.

And yes, I do want to (eventually) put a tool box on the front. I would like a sizeable one to put a jack, some jack stands, a tire iron, maybe a compressor and a small shovel (Maybe my Cold Steel one) and a few other things.
