very nice!! here's hoping you never need to use it!!!! Like that will happen...

Personally the much reduced surface area of the spacers and the resultant higher stress on both the winch and bumper mounting surfaces would worry me.

Utilizing spacers that would present a similar surface area to that of the winch mounted directly to a winch plate similar to what the bottom picture represents would leave me much more comfortable when using the winch.

I have the exact same set up with same winch (xd9000i) with washers as spacers in my ARB. I have never had any issues and done some heavy winching.

the spacers actuely cover most of the mounting surface not as much as jasonmt but it should be more than sufficant
