Coil Spring Front End??

Just curious if anybody's ever heard of setting up a coil sprung Dana 60 in an OBS, something similar to a newer Superduty? I believe the OBS F150's had a coil sprung independant front end, but probably not even close to the strength of the Superduty setup. I would assume it would ride much nicer than a leaf sring setup.
