A brushguard with winch will tear the front of your truck off, thats why they make winch bumpers.
The only one I know of that they do make a brushguard is the warn transformer and its $$$$

I found this one that just sold on eBay, so they do sell them. Doesn't have a brand though.

The issue your going to have is if you do any serious amount of winching its gonna tear the front off your truck dude. I wouldnt say so unless I have seen it with my own eyes.
Guy had one of them brushguard winch mounts, winched himself a big and it flew off with such violent speed that the brushguard broke.
Dont skimp and go cheap, buy a TJM, ARM, have a welding shop make you a bumper. I dont suppose your gonna buy a cheap winch too and expect it to last?

That "brush guard winch mount" looks like it's last exactly ½ a second actually pulling something.
You can't bolt on a winch mount w/the stock bumper & actually use it. You need to get to the frame and solidly mount your winch to it. There are a TON of front bumper options. Don't waste your money on something that will fail when you go to use it.
There's a good thread on Pirate; Clicky Here.
Here's what I did for a cheap solution 'till I can make a full-on bumper;
It's worked well so far, but I wouldn't pull up or down with it - only straight on. There's a 3" body lift on my truck, so to do the same on a stocker would require cutting the bumper clean in half, and probably some of the grill. Sacrifices will be made

just get a Hi Jack man. thats all you need if you dont wheel much
or you could put a receiver hitch on the back and make a receiver mounted winch pod. ive seen that done a number of times.
