You could make or design something, though. You can buy the Jerry can holders that are meant to be bolted to a trailer/etc. If I were going to do it, I would make a plate with the bolt pattern of the carrier where it mounts to the tailgate. Mount it between the tailgate and the carrier. Then mount the Jerry can holders to the plate. Buy a rack that looks right, and run tubing up above the tire to the rack.
I would make it all out of aluminum to save some weight. It will still be strong enough to hold two full Jerry cans and the rack full of stuff.

They're probably isn't much out like that, other than home-fab creations. The manual has a weight limit for the stock tire carrier, and it isn't much. that doesn't mean that it can't hold more (people are running around with at least 33" tires on it), just that manufacturers probably are not going to design something that will hold a Jerry can on either side of the tire and a rack above it. It seems like it would be too heavy.
