If you look at the photos above the bumper kinda rests on a bolt that is attached to the frame I guess. Is the metal plate the Winch is attached too supposed to be bolted to that or is resting on top of it ok?
 
It's all correctly installed. That rear bolt that holds the front bracket for the antiswaybar is little more than a sheet metal screw. What really holds your winch and the bumper on are the two pairs of the two front 1/2x13 bolts that provide the strength. The front two bolts are fully threaded into the frame, that rear bolt is not structural.
 
I too put a spacer on mine, the sway bar bolt (on mine anyway) isnt holding anything else.
