Shock dilemma. Help!

Truck was due for some shocks. Seems everyone is out of stock of bilsteins and fox but found the last few Fox 2.0’s on Riffraff.

Problem is what they sent me lol. Truck is 03 f250 leveled with just 1.5” block in the front.

I received:
  • 2- 99 and up, rear 0-1” lift shocks for the rear
  • 2- 05 and up, rear 0-1” lift shocks.

so technically I am missing front shocks for 1.5-3” lift.

The 05 rear shocks are bigger and longer and look like they will work fine for the front since it only has a 1.5” level. Will these work for the front? Anyone done this before lol

The tube itself is longer as well as the piston. Just curious if this would be a stupid idea lol.
