To get exactly 50 mm you might have to cut the brackets off the winch bar and weld a new,50mm longer section in there with some reinforcing or use thicker plate.

anything you will do to raise the bumper will also give more strain to the mounting area... i.e. leverage downward on the frame stubs when pulling or winching.
as Rosco stated make new mounts and run them deeper along the frame for added support...
