    Is this a tacoma thing? I don't notice it when driving, when I get out it sounds like an old mattress. Anyone else have this issue and is there a solution?

    My 2015 Gen2 did this . It got progressively worse. After multiple fruitless attempts at the dealer repairing it they replaced the leaf packs.

    So far so good.

    Thanks. I actually want to put a OME heavy spring pack on, but don't want to lift it... The taco suspension is so soft. Going from a full size to mud size truck is a big change.

    Call Wheelers and see if their HD Leaf pack will work on a 3rd gen

    Better capability with minimal height gain and you can pull a leaf if you want next to no height gain but still better capability
