Im sure you can do a coil suspension, but the fortuner suspension is not a bolt on fit to the hilux! Even the chassis from about the rear door backwards are different and alot shorter! wheelbase of a tuna is alot shorter than the lux.
In anyway the fortuners suspension is to soft, you wont be able to carry any load!
Im running Land Cruiser 80/100 series tjm XGS shocks in the rear of my tuna, that gives me amazing articulation (over 750mm), but still it bottoms out on a bad bump at speed with NO load, 2 people in the car, I'm going to fit air helpers to help with this, that'll basically work like a progressive coil, but even then at 2.5bar, it only increase the load carrying capacity by 460kg... And with a rtt and drawer system and LR tank etc etc you get to that weight quite quickly
I might be wrong
