I think the original purpose of the mounts were for that. I don't have the engineering background to figure it out but I have always wondered how much chassis stiffness is lost by only adding tube and triangulating the back half of the chassis. I'd assume that by adding more to the front it would deflect much less (like when you add the forward bars in a cage).
