They might have used the front leaf springs on the back as well, I don't recall how many leafs they had up front.
I'm using stock part# front shocks on the rear with my axle flip, travel is just right .

When I saw you were in Hebron I was thinking your only about 40 miles away ( Hebron,Tx) then I saw in your profile your just a little further away than that, would've had to ship the parts to you.
A friend told me he thought that the front leafs were moved back from my pictures, and I have no idea how many leafs were used, but I bet it's more that I now have on the rears. The tires I have on the front are 215-70 x 15's and back are 235-75 x 15's. I think they're to big for the sidewall, I may buy new ones maybe 65's. that would bring the back end down some. You know there's a Hebron, KY as well??
