Default Body Lift W/ Winch

I have a friend that just got an 06 Crew cab 4x4 King ranch that has a leveling kit and a 3" body lift. We were discussing what he needed to do to it and he wants to put his winch on and add some tow hooks. My question is what is the best way to go about this since nothing will bolt up square because it has the body lift on it? Any help on what he should do whould be appreciated.
Thanks

If you don't have acess to a welder, either rent one or have a friend weld up some real solid brackets, as long as the brackets spread the force back along the frame it shouldn't matter where you attach it. I also really like the look of the winch coming through that little lower grille space.

Thanks man, That may be what we have to do. I agree with the hidden winch as well, thats what I have on my 02'. I was just hoping someone out there had a bolt on bracket of some kind, but it doesnt look like thats gonna happen.
Thanks again for the help!
