Westin 46 21245 Winch Mount Tray, Black

Removed the skid plate and stock tow hooks on my FX4, bolted this on with no issues at all. It claims it won't work with the skid plate but it will if you do a bit of modifying. I cut a couple notches in the plate to fit over the winch attachment arms, then drilled a 1/2" hole in the bottom of each arm and inserted riv nuts, drill corresponding holes in the skid plate and it bolts up just like stock.

Installed along with hitch reciever it was a tight fit but did work ok. Entire bracket is in front of bumper. There is room between bumper and radiator for a 12000# winch to fit, but no one makes a bracket that mounts winch that way. You can reuse the tow hooks if you grind off the welded brackets from them. I would recommend the front chrome trim plate, really dresses the mount up. With a front license plate mount that snaps onto the fairlead rollers this adds about 16" to truck length.
