Why not, just like swaping out IFS on any other truck for a straight axle. You could four link the front instead of the common leaf spring.

browsing around on the internet I found a guy who posted all the pics on his fabritech leaf sprung sas with a 97 or newer f150- if I can dig up his site, i'll post it up but I found it entering in various sas combinations
