Five-lug swap, quick question

Okay, I've searched, and that's how I know to ask this question. Acording to all the parts suppliers, the part number for rear brake hoses is the same for both suspensions. Does that mean that I only nead the front hoses for the swap, and can get all four in stainless in a month or two? I know it would be best to change them all to SS right now, but I need to do this on a budget and finish getting it right later.

I only changed the front hoses because the 5 lug rears looked exactly the same as the 4 lug rear hoses.

with the front for the 5 lug there should be a section of hose and then a hard line which actually goes into the caliper, where as the 4 lug fronts have just the hose going into the caliper. I believe these are the only ones that need to be changed.

getting the SS hoses later will be fine, you'll just have to bleed the brakes again.
