For those of you that have installed a hitch, did you reuse this spacer?

I don't know what it is but it is rubber. Just trying to figure out if I should leave it in or bolt it directly to the bumper bracket and frame.

That's what isolates your tub from the vibration of the engine and drivetrain.

I don't think it's a body mount.

I would not attach any type of hitch to something with rubber involved in the connection. A trailer hitch must be securely attached to the frame not sheet metal.

That rubber mount shouldn’t go anywhere. A receiver hitch should bolt to the bottom and side of the frame on both sides.
