I had a Warn 9500 lb. winch with the Transformer mount. The Transformer mount allows you to use the winch at the front of the truck, if you have a 2" receiver up front, or at the rear of the truck. I never installed the power cabling to the rear but it worked great at the front of the truck.

Harbor Freight has a winch mount and receiver to fit into a trailer tow 2" Tube. Also other makers do online. You can get a receiver with handles on it so to carry easier. You can also mount a receiver in the bed to store and lock your winch into. A large capacity Marine deep cycle Trolling battery can provide severl usages of your winch per charge. Even dualing them up. Also there are 24 volts for even more zap. Of course making your own long cables and running em along the frame to the back is the best working option if you want to hang your rig under the bridge overnight. #4 lugs would work and not loose too much zap. Remember the longer the cable with Dirrect current the less you have finally get there. LOL
