Default 2013 frame for 2008?

Wondering if i can swap a 2008 Ford Lariat frame for a 2013 Lariat frame?
I broke my lower control arm and thinking of just doing a full swap.
thanks!

Just a quick thought.....in 09 the steering changed to a electric rack so certain mounting holes/frame size etc. may be different or mounting holes may be different sizes or locations etc. ?????

i would have to imagine jumping from one generation of truck to another that damned near nothing is going to match up.

The control arm unbolts from the frame. Just replace it.
