Personally I like the look of the same size tire front and back, like factory.

While that may be your "personal" preference, it's not a very common one in this application.

I would venture that the vast majority of people that want to run an aftermarket IFS, or add a R&P to conventional steering truck are looking to lower their vehicle a considerable amount. I would also speculate that those same people will be running a wider rim and a wider and taller tire on the rear. Some much so that it would not be possible to use it for a replacement on the front.

The reason these companies create a suspension system with a narrower track, is demand from the user for a narrower track width to allow for clearance when lowered.
