I think the main concern with front mounting is that all the weight is already at that end on a mog? Adding more makes them less stable without rear weights, although your crane would go some way to helping with that. You could always make up a slab of concrete to fit the rear of the bed and lift it in when you need it, although gross vehicle weight seems to be coming up here fairly clearly so I don't know how viable that idea is on the road?

I assume that the front end of a 1300L would be the same as the front of the other large series square cabs? Ie the provisions on the chassis would be there to fit this sort of kit?

At the moment I'm looking for a mount that can be fitted more snugly to the front of mine but still lift. The closer the kit is the less it will need weighting at the rear.
