Thats a good pic of that winch plate setup..curious, why don't you drop it down between the 2 plates on the side, and run 3 bolts through each side & add a brace to the bottom like what you have now? Looks like it would be super simple from that picture..Get it out of the radiators way?
Basically drop it down in front of the front cross member. Shoot you could even pick up the 2 front most bolts off the stock bumper..making 5 holding it in..

Mainly because of clearance and approach angle. It doesn't over heat so I'm not worried about the radiator.

Polyurethane coil inserts. They work really well so far. Simple and cheap.
