Will 03 Expy Support Front Weight?

We show dogs and want to carry exercise pens (about 25-30lbs each) in a cargo basket attached to the front hitch of a Ranch Hand grill guard mounted on the Expy when we travel. I'm not sure how much the grill guard weighs, but the additional cargo with the basket will be about 200 lbs. The pens are wire and can stand on their sides, allowing airflow, but I wonder if this will be too much weight for the front suspension?
Advice?

Well, the real way of telling would be to get your truck weighed at each axle.

Put all the stuff you're gonna carry on the front hitch and see if you're over the GAWR.
