why would you want to go so high ??? springs are a diffrent length and center pin iis in diffrent location. But i suppose if you really want to you could do it... Also front springs are a stifer spring rate than rears

front springs would suck on the rear. not only is the spring rate somewhat higher. the rear frame rails are substantially wider hampering flex/function even further...

Maybe they told you rears up front.  I have heard of several guys doing that, maybe you just got it mixed up
