Well, I was thinking they wouldn't look right on an AD truck like mine.
Putting them on the front is not practical, they'd hang out of the fenders and the contact patch being farther out would make steering more difficult.
Therefore I was only considering them on the rear, and no matter the bed type they'd look out of place on a 48 truck, at least if trying to appear original or close within reason, which is my goal.
The rears being larger than the front wouldn't help the looks either.
... I did think about it, and that's my opinion/conclusion,
