Have you ever even looked under your truck?

No, the fronts will not fit on the back.

Fronts are significantly shorter than the rear, so yes you have to get front specific and rear specific

They will not fit. Sure in the picture they go to a lifted truck, but it shows you how big of a difference there is between front and rear.
