My truck has front and rear receiver hitches, so why not mount the winch on a platform with a 2" mount and then I could plug it into either end. Would need to make a receiver for inside the trailer, but that would be relatively easy.

If was building a custom bumpers like you, I might be tempted to use receiver size tubing so I could put the winch on all 4 corners plus the front and rear for any extraction needs.

Mine has it's own battery box but you could wire up sealed quick connects wherever you need them.
You mean like this?
