An axle, steering gear, coil springs, spring buckets, and radius arms and mounts. I don't see why not. I think I have seen it done on another site. I don't recall seeing it around the 6.0 forum. The parts are available for example the spring buckets....

Oh and too add, you may as well swap the rear axle out too.If I remember right, In 2005 along with coil spring front, they changed the lug pattern so you would need the wheels too.

I think you're right on the SRW. Just the back space changed on the newer ones. And 05 f350 dually is 200.

The SRW rear axle backspace had to be changed so the new backspacing wheels for the front axle would fit correctly all around.
