Hi mabdrasol,

it can be done, no problem on using LTM and GTM on the same box. In regards to best practices, I would suggest you create the DNS configuration on your GTM devices, create listener with an IP address different to the current one serving the DNS request. Test extensively via dig/lookups and only when you are sure all is good, you perform the cutover re-pointing the NS records to the GTM's listeners.
