They will physically fit, but don't forget the cab is loads heavier than the 2-door. The rear springs in particular will be far stiffer.
Personally, I'd say don't bother, 'specially if you're thinking of lowering your car. The cab springs will be that stiff the 2-door will sit higher with them on.

Dont do it for the reason above, the rear will sit high and give a bumpy ride.
