If you looked to use the 05 style, youd also need the axle, because the housings are different, and different widths. Otherwise I suppose you could fab up brackets to use the oem 05 style suspension. No I havent done it, just some things you may want to look into.

FabTech makes a kit to convert to a coilover suspension, but it is only available with a 6" lift

I think the coilover swap would be cool, I just don't want to lift my truck

The Full Traction Coilover conversion is a much better product that the Fabtech coilover conversion in terms of superior suspension geometry and construction.

Also available in a 6" lift.
If you are looking for stock height, yes you can swap out the suspension and axles to those of a 05+ truck. You'll get the benefit of the larger brakes, larger unit bearings, better turning of the newer axle.
