The bumper has provisions for a receiver, but a third-party receiver (like you'd buy from e-trailer or similar) will not be included in the bumper purchase for overall cost, shipping, and liability reasons.
Check it out:

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but do you have a link for the specific lights you spec'd the rear holes for?

Oh sorry, hadn’t mentioned that yet - they’re for Rigid Industries IGNITE back up light kit - 20641.
- to be mounted behind the bumper.

So there will be structure there for like a 6” or so receiver to be welded in it looks like? I actually have one waiting then. I was going to build a front bumper with a hidden receiver and I bought the little 6” long receiver from e-trailer and never used it. I also have some 2.5” square .250” wall material in my metal rack that is the same Inside dimensions as a receiver is.

Perfect! Here’s how I’m doing it on mine:

Is the only additional piece needed for it to hitch compatible the receiver, or is there additional support that will need to be added? I probably missed it, but will the bumpers be pre-bent just requiring welding?

To be hitch-compatible you'll need to provide a ~40.5" length of 2x2" tubing (welds in between the supplied bumper mounts) and a short receiver.

That's correct. There will be 5 pre-bent brackets, 2 recovery points, and 3 pre-bent bumper parts in the bumper kit. (and some hardware)
You'll need to provide the OEM running board cover for the top of the step (this covers the access holes and finishes off the top of the bumper - I'll give measurements for how to trim it to fit) and the aux reverse lights (if you choose to run them)
Also Note: - The bumper requires the rear cross member from my fuel tank relocation bracket kit as its basis, so if you don't have one of my kits you'll need to add a crossmember to the order.
- It also requires a 1" body lift, and I strongly advise the use of poly body bushings on the rear body mounts to minimize flex & potential body contact when wheeling.
- And, you will need to cut out the pinch weld in the rear of the wheel well on each side for clearance, as the bumper is designed to provide full articulation with 35" tires.

The 40.5” tube runs left to right and the receiver will butt up against it and also need to be welded at the face of the bumper I assume?

Receiver goes over the top of it (post 350). The bottom of the receiver is notched to reduce the overall height

When you get your first run of non-BL bumpers with the option to line up with the limited flares, you can count on me to purchase one!

Thanks for the kind words!
I'm actually releasing a non-BL mount kit as an add-on later in the year. The flare extensions will be add-ons as well. This allows me to maintain the same base bumper for all scenarios and keep the price down for you guys.

Ha, you’re making this really tempting to pre-order now...
