I believe it was so the front wheels don't lock up as easily and thus negate your steering during a hard brake application. But generally, for the easy life these trucks are going to lead now, it shouldn't matter. That is.....until it does.
The engineers may have designed them this way based on the likely loads of the front vs rear axle.

Done for a reason......
In the absence or even existance of a brake equalizer valve they used the large wheel cylinder to get more force on the front wheels who do at least 60% of the braking.... but as Rob pointed out..... with out a heavy load in the rear to make greater demand on the front braking system you are probably alright.
Now if you have the booster brake system I would definitely stay with the larger front wheel cylinder..... this is a Trump recommendation not based on hard facts. Cheers
