I have too much twist in the front frame section from the front cab mount forward. Right now I have a stinger on the front and a winch plate below that. But what could be done in between ?? Tie the cage to the frame under the hood and to the stinger???

you could box the frame and tie in the cage

how is your cage mounted to the truck? is it mounted to the frame? or to the floorpans of the truck? both ways can be correct, but you may run into problems if you try to tie a bushing mounted cage directly to the frame.

I'd consider tieing in the cage to the stinger and add a down bar around middle of the engine (on the cage to stinger tie bar) to the frame rail. Only issue there is steering shaft and tire clearance(at stuff).
But like asked, is your cage tied to the frame? If not you don't want to just tie your front frame to your body.

Cage is tied to the frame now. I just need to stiffen it up from the firewall forward.

What I said would be a great way IMO, also running a strut bar from side to side over the engine.
That is my plan anyway. Except minus the stinger.
