I'm not new to this... I have a 1993 Integra that I have torn apart and experimented with over the last 10 years and I know what good suspension setups do and what bad suspension setups do. I modify vehicles for performance, that's what I do.

Back in 2001, some genius decided to sell me Civic springs for my Integra (my coilovers were getting rebuilt, had no choice but to run a simple spring/shock setup) without telling me. I threw them on, went for a drive, hit a bump in the road and the car would not stop hopping in the front and I almost totaled the car. We're talking a few hundred pound difference between the Civic and the Integra but, the spring rates were so different that the stock Integra shocks didn't do anything with the over powering spring.

The Tundras have a very stiff rear spring to handle the weight that they can carry and the shocks are not matched to that stiffness. If aftermarket companies can develop rear shocks that eliminate the issue, that tells me that the shock was the problem.

You don't have to listen to me... but I do know that Rancho is not going to solve your problem. Sorry.
I'm sorry, but your wrong about the shocks. So what your saying is that Toyota put the wrong shocks on from the beginning? This IMO is a frame problem
