As promised, here are a few pics of my front hitch mount, with and without the winch:
slight down angle to get an idea of how far it sticks out. It looks further than it really is. The receiver itself sits far enough back that it won't get caught by people walking in front of the truck.

Only thing I'm not happy about is how much it will affect the approach and departure angles. I'm working with a friend of mine to build a winch mount that will sit higher up towards the grill.
