Mike,
Here is a quote from the email Al sent me. Hope he doesn't mind.
I had to put in an old HD to find it.
"Since you're building your own rear bumper, thought you'd get a kick
out of our 4+Plus rear 80 series bumper. We cut off the frame rails
right behind the rear body mounts, weld in a 3/8" plate steel
crossmember to carry the new bumper, which allows us to run the
receiver right in the middle of the main section, loosing no ground
clearance. We gain about 9" of clearance this way. Bumper carries a
37" MTR no worries."
