Is it ok to put my main power lines for my power steering to my winch solenoid main wires that comes directly from the battery. If no would it be ok to if I added a toggle switch to turn off the power steering during winch use and it work ok? Or should I just add another set of wires to the battery?

You can hook them to the winch contactor or solenoid. You don't need to add a switch to turn off the power steering when you are winching. I have it this way with no problems.
