The extra leaf in the rear will add an extra 1.5 inches of height in the back, so many replace their shocks with the Bilstein 5100s in order to level out the truck after the TSB is done.
Here's the link to all the TSBs at the top of the forum. The rear leaf TSB is the first one posted.

Wow, I just remembered that Toyota did that same very thing way back on my 96 Tacoma accesscab non-trd, that is, I complained about getting a creaking noise in the rear suspension and they ended up replacing the rear leafs and all 4 shocks.
When it;s obvious that the tacomas have had this problem basically since they first went on sale in 95, why does Toyota continuely keep putting the same springs on the trucks year after year instead of swithing to the better ones at the factory. It's a little rediculous.
