winch bumper and plow frame?????

Hey Guys..

i'm collecting parts to replace my front end after the guy in his corolla ran a red light and i creamed him...

- cowl hood, winch bumper, upgraded headlights...

i have a fisher plow frame on my truck, and i'm concerned about the fitment with a winch bumper (road armor, DOR, etc...) the plow frame currently sticks out about 3" from the stock bumper, but i'm concerned the upright portion of the plow will hit the bumper... ( i have yet to fully install the plow, or buy the bumper...)

thoughts and comments appreciated

thanks guys!!!

Maybe totally hairbrained, and I know almost nothing about how the plow mounts are but...

Could you weld the plow mounts to a bumper? It may work with something utilitarian looking like the Ranchhand Legend...

The plow takes a lot of force...sometimes a ton or two of snow...thus it mounts to the frame...in 4-5 places on each side (similar to where the tow hooks were...)

But people pull trucks buried to the frame in mud out with winches mounted to Ranchands...

I'm not speaking from experience at all, just thinking outloud.
