We have done that over here, and have bolt ons for 100 IFS [with fitting kit] as well as 80's, 105's 120 prado's, nissan gq/gu patrols, and current hilux [tacoma for you guys] and have developed the longer slinky coils so we can use the extra long shocks as a bolt on. [like these 16"]
Most require a "fitting kit" which extends sway bar links, bump spacers for chassis, and inside coil, brake lines, and for 80, rear plates which change the top mount to a bush, instead of a pin, to stop side loading of the shaft/seals.
We do a "some cutting and welding required" kit for the nissans also, to fit double, or triple bypass Fox shox.
Fox even give you your own part No if you order 50 or more of that one type of shock.
I have spoken with Christo about this, as wella s the extra long twin tube shocks we have had made, as a more budget orientated option with same fitting kit and slinky coils.
