Not sure which is front or back, so I'll assume for this post that the open frame side is presumably a pickup and therefore the "front". Are you planning to have your center of gravity significantly to the rear of the center axle? If not, you'll be losing a lot of traction force, especially when accelerating to the rear (including braking when driving forward).
