Haven't done it myself or seen anything posts/projects here saying so, but reading the tech articles there seems to be conflicting information. Some say yes, some say no.

It may be possible in a 4X4, because the newer trucks use a long shaft to reach the steering gear.
It's probabbly not worth the hassle.
