    my 08 4x4 sr5 double cab long bed has the weaker springs. the sticker says it was built in 08/07. ill call my dealer tomorrow. should be able to swap them out? iv got a boat and often transport motorcycles, so id like to notice a change for the better. its not aweful, but im sure if my boat was bigger id start having issues. i threw on trd bilsteins, wonder if they will notice and try to void my rear suspension warranty because mine wasnt purchased as a "TRD". those stealerships wouldnt suprise me...

    I would make sure the dealer knows. The TSB calls for replacing the shocks on the Non-TRD models. They replace them with Bilsteins, so you might not care.
    Or maybe they could just throw them in the bed and you could Ebay 'em!:D
