Ford switched from leaf springs to coil springs in the 2005 model year. I think anything from 2005-2016 would work if you are just using the frame. Motor and transmission mounts might need some moving around, among other items.

The issue that you will have to deal with is the 08+ frames is that they dip down in front of the rad supports so you'll have to figure that out for bumper mounting. The cab mounts should be be the same through the years as the cabs didn't really drastically change until 17+. Same with the box. Another issue that comes up is if you attempt to use a different cab/box config i.e. regular cab/long box instead of a super cab short box, etc

i Plan to Use custom Bracket on a Replacement Frame to extend out the Bumper, i have a Short bed From a 08 F250 5.4L i plan on using as i am going to be stripping it for parts anyways. I will be using Short Box ,tires,rims,locking Hubs,Mirrors, going from 08 F250 Crew Cab
I can't quite read between the lines here. Is the frame toast, or just wanting to lose the leafs up front? Or both? You mentioned 08 parts, do you have a complete parts truck? You did mention buying a frame.
