With the PLS, Oshkosh put on guides with angled "blind alignment" wings that center the load as it comes into contact with the guide. I'm sure you could put some sort of wing on the bed-box to emulate this. From some seat-time I had in a Hook and Ladder tiller (no I'm not a Firefighter)...

I believe hoists have brakes in the drum that unload the gear-train when not driven (power up, power down). Without that, your capacity might only be 1/10th the rating of a similar hoist, so a 15,000lb winch might only be able to safely handle a 1,500lb dead-lift (3/4 ton).

I like the idea of positive retention - bolt it in if you can, strap it down for sure, and don't forget your dunnage underneath. For the 250 size, I'm a fan of the HMMWV attachment method: if you can work in some way to use the dolly mount points, you should be able to bolt it in your bed.
