Oh man...so thats a no go then on the winch mount and the front mount hitch.

Sorry..I was just going off a pic I saw of cknaffle's ZR2 where he had the winch mount, and receiver shackles welded all around what looked like the crossmember for his front leaf springs. Thanks for the clarification AJBert

It should mount up ok...the biggest issue with it is that if you get much of an angle at all on the cable, it'll hit against the brush guard (the brush guard severely limits the angle from which you can pull).

But AJBert should have a clear answer on if it will mount up together.

You shouldn't have a problem slapping on a brush guard with the hidden winch mount. I don't have a brush guard but from what I know of how they mount it will not interfer with the winch mount. You could just get a warn trans4mer with the winch plate and that would get you what you want, but you won't be able to use the 2" receiver tubes without doing some more modding.
