My 2005 Tacoma bottoms out in the rear with passengers in back seat or with light bed loads? Why?

Do you have stock leaf springs ?

Are you attempting to haul more than 4 paper bags in a single run ?

I am running Firestone air bags on stock suspension right now, and I carry about 600 lbs of tools in the bed daily. Like the nice soft ride, and the air bags handle the load Ok.
