Not seeing how you have the box attached is it possible to lower the box mounting (closer to stock location)? Maybe notching box cross rails and fitting/welding the front to rear bars into notches and maybe get box low enough that you could weld bed to rails as well? That would help in stiffening it up too. Knowing there's not much room, only a few inches, between rear shackle mounts and end of frame I think you could move pivot point forward a couple inches. Might need to trim and box that part of frame tho. It would increase dumping angle a couple of degrees. Only other way I see to increase dump angle is to raise winch higher, however I see a point where the winch will start pulling the box apart.
Just thinking out loud: If you were to raise the winch mounting point a couple inches and have the mount pivot, at frame rails, with box while allowing box to 'slip' as raises/lowers, you could move vertical bars closer together (right above frame rails, you would need to spread load out over more frame or box that part of frame). Also lowering the point cable attaches to box (not much room before interfering with drive shaft). Also install angled bars from under winch mounting point to up-right pivot points. Might get another 10 degrees angle.
Never mind my ramblings, I "ALWAYS" over think stuff like this. Probably wont work any ways.

From the time I was a young boy growing up in Jacksonville, Florida, I would spend a considerable amount of time helping my father repair or rebuild equipment and engines, etc. on our 2 1/2 acre "spread". Pop always dreamed of having more acreage out in the country where he could retire and tinker as much as he wanted and often reminisced about his boyhood days on his grandfathers farm in Montecello,
