Default Warn m8274 winch on a 1500?

What is the cheapest solution to mount a Warn m8274 on a2007 Dodge Ram 1500? I noticed a big open space behind the bumper and frontgrill but I am not sure it will fit. All of the external bumpers I’ve seen area small fortune and I can’t afford it

What should I do? What are my options?

Maybe check into the setup on the front end of a power wagon, they come with a winch and the chassis are very nearly identical.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the powerwago mounts the winch internaly. The Warn m8274 I have is pretty tall. I don't know if it will fit. Anyone else mounted a Warn m8274?

I called about the power wagon and my local Dodge dealer said they could not order those parts.

How about a kit? Somthing that comes with the parts precut and I just weld them?

The M8274 is very unique in it's design and I don't think there is any way to mount it internally behind the bumper, just too damn tall. Cheapest solution IMO is gonna be a front receiver hitch and a portable winch cradle.
