    Airbags are around $400
    Daystar cradles are another $80 - These allow the airbags to rest in the cradle without actually being attached to the axle so the suspension can still cycle and not be limited by the airbag.

    I have a 2005 Prerunner, I wouldn't even consider a camper that size. I hope you don't hit any bumps or go around a turn a bit too fast. Hopefully your frame isn't rusty.
    Campers and RVs are completely different things. Motor homes tow Tacomas, not the other way around.

    By no means am I an expert but I did go to the local experts on our city who recommended
    1. Replace the 3rd spring on both sides with a good quality leaf(because they always break)
    2. Add an additional good quality leaf.

    They claim that they see way too many Tacomas come in with broken 3rd leafs and their reasoning was ; since you should replace the 3rd leaf anyway, may as well do it right and add the 4th for extra support and weight capacity ***NOTICE this does NOT increase the capacity carrying of the truck as there is more than just spring capacity taking into account.

    The total cost of this was $1100

    For $1100 you can get a good aftermarket full leaf pack and still have money left over.
