I don't know about the compatibility question, but consider supply and demand: They probably sell fewer springs for RDs. This means fewer are made. Economy of scale kicks in and it costs more per spring to wind a few than a bunch.

I've done it myself before. The front springs fit, rears don't. The spring ratio is different and dangerous. True story: The first time I almost went under a freightliner. The second time I landed in a neighbors driveway. The weight distribution is way off. Just don't do it.
