Weld up a framice(frame like device) that holds it where you want it, should be easy and if you use 3/8 inch think steel with gussets, it wont break.

look at the front of the frame, there are some stock bolt holes on the bottom.
I ran two heavy pieces of angle iron from those and but a plate on the top..
it sticks out kinda far.

did you oversize the holes and use thicker bolts? how big is your winch?

thanks!

Here's some ideas:
In my first try I built this bumper for about $160 or so.

first version
I later reworked the mounting to raise it up at an additional cost of $80.

final version
There are a few more pics of each if you follow the links to my photobucket pics.
