ANYTHING can be done with enough time, patience, and money. This is going to hurt.

I believe the Ford uses leaf springs, am I correct? What is the axle's flange-to-flange width? Is it even close to the WJ's? Then you'll have to cut off all the mounting brackets and rebuild them with the jeep's mounting brackets and spring seats. The WJ uses a single point upper control arm mount on the differential. IMHO, this is almost too much work. If you feel you want to, go for it!
