Thank you for the info. I decided to try try this based on this thread. I just put my stock 3rd brake light on, cutting off the plastic with a dremel. Then I mounted on 4" brackets, flipping it upside down as it tapers a little bit. You really need 5" with 18" rims (op states this) and especially since I have a spacer bracet. I had 4" so rather than spend an hour going to get new ones I just pushed forward. Plugged in stock wiring and done. The longest part was pulling than darn spare off. I left the stock mount on. I"m wondering if I can put some sort of mount on it.

I got it locally at a place called Farm & Fleet but I would assume anywhere that sells trailer parts or accessories would have it or something similar.
