I do see what you are saying and have had similar thoughts.
On the big plate, the winch mounts to the 4 holes - I only have the top two bolts holding the winch to the plate right now. I have to keep the 4 bolt holes, but am thinking about dropping it down in the middle. It's 3/8" plate and I'm going to triangle gusset it to the bottom plate on each side so I don't see support a problem at all if I cut some of that meat out of it.
