I bought my JKU Sport with a rubicon bumper on it. I’m looking to mount a winch in the bumper (smittybilt gen 2 xrc was what I was looking at) but I was curious if sizing would be important or if it would fit and what brackets I would need. I have a picture of the front bumper attached for reference.

Mopar had a winch plate which would allow you to mount a winch down in that bumper, but that has been discontinued. Luckily JCR, rockhard 4x4, among others make a similar product. I do believe you need to also get a vacuum pump relocation bracket.

If you're replacing with an xrc a winch will bolt right in.

 
Got my plate from JCR off road. The brake vacuum pump bracket didn’t work for me so ended up ordering one from RockHard4x4 which solved the issue.
