Any comments on front mounting a generator like a diesel pusher?

I'm starting to think this might not work.  I was out doing some measuring today and there is something less than 30 inches to the cross member between the frame rails.  Redesigning the front bumper might make it fit, but that is probably more work than I want to do. 

I'll have to take a closer look at this in the spring when it warms up again.  Removing the bumper and the spare tire will give me a better look at things.

I think Ken and Ruth's generator is probably a little shorter than mine.
