Default 1939 Deluxe shock links

I'm replacing the shock links on my '39 deluxe Tudor sedan and it has 3" links up front and 4" at back. The Green Bible says it should be the other way around. Is this correct?

The 1938-1946 Ford parts catalog shows 4" front and 3" rear.

Yes, that does settle it! I guess a previous "mechanic" put them on wrong. Maybe it will ride better now? Thanks guys.
