If the truck is 4wd you could swap a 2nd gen front suspension from a 4wd. Need some skills though.

It can be done. The 2nd gen swap would be the way. I have swapped the leafs for coils on a jeep wrangler, why not not the Ram? It did make a difference in ride.

I did mine a couple months ago. Went with Ferd Stupidity front radius arms, brackets and coil buckets...ICON Suspension 2.5" progressive coils and Bilstein shocks. It was a TON of work as I had to build everything but the parts mentions from scratch!! Pay-off...my truck now handles the desert like a class 8 race truck and is super smooth on the highway. WELL worth the effort.
