2008 4.0 Frame Swap

Just recently picked up an 08 with 57k miles off the auction but the frames rotted out. Just recently found a frame off a 3.0 with the same specs in regards to suspension. I shouldn’t have any issues swapping two trucks with different engine sizes as long as the frame specs are the same right?

A basic frame only knows if it is 4x2 or 4x4 and its wheelbase. At the assembly plant it has to wait for engine installation to see which engine will be installed.
