Does the strap come from the top of the spindle or the bottom? If it’s on the bottom...

You could drill two holes in the uprights and put a bolt thru with a brass pipe sleeve to act as a roller

Add a snatch block & doing so double up your cable pull.
Depending where you place the 1st hook back at the winch stand that will change your cables angle.

Could you use an angle grinder and remove part of the bracket where the cable is chafing?

I have some parts left over from my winch install that might be useful, let me know if you want them and I will drop them at your house.
