With my older Frontier, the leaf springs in the back seemed to be too soft, even with a WD/sway control hitch (Hensley Cub). The SumoSprings made a big difference.

Do you already use a weight distribution hitch? If not then I’d recommend getting that set up first and see if that resolves your concerns with your Taco.

Check out SumoSprings. I added a set to the rear suspension in our Frontier and they make a big difference. I don't know about the Tacoma, but on the Frontier, they just replaced the stock bump stops on the rear leaf springs. I started with the blue ones and changed to the black ones because I needed a bit more firmness. They were the right choice for me. I did not get them for the front, but I should probably do so.
You could also check out the SuperSprings.

2018 179 towing with my 2015 Tacoma Sport.
I think I need to beef up my suspension. Anyone have any experience doing so? |

Be careful.
