OK to go '99 tall springs rear only?

Just what is says on the title.

My rear shocks are shot, and the springs are sagging. Front seems fine though. This is a DD with very little trail use - still, I would like a slightly higher stance. Since I need to replace the rear shocks anyway, seems like a good time to do the springs.

So, anyone see issues with running the '99 talls in back while keeping the 2000 regulars (at 13 years old) in front? Planning on using Bilstein 4600 shocks. There would obviously be some rake, which is fine with me.

Stock bumpers, skids, wheels, etc.

Eventually, I'd like to go with the talls up front too, but would rather not spend all the $$ to do it all at once.

They would be fine. Like Black Cat said, you may have a 1" rake or so, depending on how much your front has sagged over the years and if you buy new or used '99 springs. If you plan on doing the front too and buy used springs, you may be better off finding a whole set together. They would all have the same mileage and wear so your stance would be more uniform.
 
Thank you both. I am planning on getting new springs. Hopefully I can do the fronts in the fall - maybe get some coil-overs at the same time.
