This is something that someone trying to do aftermarket work would be
wise to consider, but, ultimately, selection of brake position, front
and rear, is a matter of how the loads are transmitted into the axles,
suspension and frame during braking--as rear braking occurs, there are
usually changes in suspension angles that change the position of the
body and affect weight transfer. In addition to all the other
considerations--brake line position, parking brake routing, etc.--a
major one is if the caliper position is such that road dirt and debris
will foul the components, or that such fouling can't be cleared easily
through brake action and normal rotation.
Cheers.
