Just remember hanging a bunch of weight out front has a serious effect on how the vehicle is going to feel, steer and brake. Think polar moments.

Not only do you ideally want weight down low, you also want it as close to center of mass as possible. You might want to temporarily bolt 200#'s to a temporary crossmember and drive around with it just to see what the truck feels like with the added weight, and realize the bumper/cradle will be even farther forward.
