Interesting you brought this up, I actually run my tags on the front because I believe the instructions on the tags that came with my plate said to do so.
For me, after working my way thru the laws I came to the conclusion that even though I don't operate commercially, CA feels the need to license my truck otherwise. This is how it's been with all my other past trucks as well but now with the one ton dually I knew I was heavy enough to be outside of some of the exceptions, so i needed to sort thru the provisions. I determined I was exempt from a MCP but not the weight fees so I tagged my current truck for 26k (I will tow a "utility trailer" from time to time with and without the camper) The door stickers live in the glove box.
I've been known to be wrong from time to time so I wouldn't take my opinion for more than that...an opinion.
