I decided to cut into the existing support and box it to maintain strength.
Hopefully you don't have any problems with this mod, you reduced its ability to resist bending up and down by a significant amount. The cross section is greatly reduced in the vertical direction.
I'd consider replacing that support with another one as close to the winch as possible.
