If you have Youtube and a driveway you can have your old bumpers off and new ones on in a couple hours with very basic tools. As far as a winch, you'll get a lot of different opinions. Personally, I joined the Harbor Freight Inside Track club and got a 25% off any single purchase coupon and got a Badland Apex 12,000 Lb winch. Haven't used it a lot but the few things I have used it on I have had no issues.
I also agree with what others have said. Give it a bit to figure out exactly how you're going to be using your rig. That will tell you what you need.
