Will my suspension support a front mount dirtbike rack and 285lb enduro?

I have 99 4x2 w a camper top and am building a camping/adventure set up in the bed. I want to have access to the back without dealing w a trailer or a dirt bike rack in the way on entry. Wondering if I mount a hitch receiver and a dirt bike rack to the front could the suspension/tow capacity handle being front heavy to that extent. Think it would look badass, but is it practical for regular use?
yes or no?

Welcome to the forum

Yes, that should not be a problem, but...................check local laws for headlights and drivers vision restrictions, it needs to be mounted low enough to not restrict your vision and in a manner that doesn't block headlights or turn signals
