Ive seen some guys use a larger battery in the place of the orginal with great results.

If your competeing then i expect twin batts are the way to go, with a dedicated winch batt and perhaps even a twin alternator set up for shorter duty cycles.

X eng do a good split charge set up thays well reccomended on here.

Im sure one of the 'pros' will be along with a boat load of links and advice for ya :)

Split charge.... Problem with the x-eng one it needs a running feed. Jimny alternater light wire doesn't work. Voltage sensing is needed..I put a switch in to enable charging...

Move the water bottle forward and you can build a tray to put a 096 battery in... Had that laying about from the discovery I had.. That is what I have done..

Have fun

If used for challenge, forget split charge and get a pair of numax batteries. from what I can read on different forums, they're great for a budget winch truck :-)
