    Hi everyone, I apologize if this is a dumb question.
    I currently have the 5100s on the middle setting (and one CB shim per side) in the front with stock shocks (+3 CB shackles) in the rear. Running this setup for about 8K miles so far. I've been thinking of getting the 6112s for the front to soften my ride a little (truck is used for on road only), and wanted to know if it's possible to put those 5100s to the rear. According to Bilstein's website, the part numbers are different (the and the rears don't have the adjustable ride height), but would the front shocks fit the rear or no?
    Thanks!
