I would be careful being a composite bed.
Your best bet would be to fabricate a mount to come up in between the bed and cab from the frame. Get it welded in.... then bolt your winch to that.

My 1st thought would be to secure a piece of box tube or angle-iron to the front two bed bolts and mount the winch to that.
