No the spare is in the bed for now. But I think I would put it under the bed in front of the bumper later. I see how it might be visible under the bumper. The 70" or 71" sounds right for the width I need. For the trailer hitch I have two options a ball on top of the plate or the square hole receiver under the bumper. Is 18" from the ground to trailer tongue about standard. I guess that would determine how low the bumper would be.
