Would you mount a cargo rack in front of the rig?

I got my hands on a new hitch cargo rack that i almost have no use for as i already have one installed in the rear. An idea had occured to me that maybe i should mount this on the front bumper to carry more useless things. I havent really thought the idea through but recall seeing some other fellas having a similar setup. My major concern ofcourse is how it will affect the cooling capability. Bikes i suppose are alright but some large ice chests or something similar in size would choke the radiator wouldn't it? Please feel free to chime in. thanks in advance.
