Just installed Deaver mini-spring packs on my crewmax from PRG products, and now it rides soooo much smoother! It's like a night and day difference! I also gained 1 inch in height over stock.
With the stock overload leaves, the ride was choppy, bouncy, and teeth-rattling over anything besides glass smooth pavement. Now, the truck absorbs all of the uneven pavement and rides firmly without bouncing around all over the place. It feels planted and no wheel hop at all.
I am so happy with the results! This is the way the Tundra should have come from the factory. For those who are unhappy with ride comfort, these are an absolute MUST!

Rear Susp: ProComp ES3000 #326510 (2.25" taller than stock), 1.25" blocks plus PRG mini-pack (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...and-new-truck/) gives 2.25" total lift, parking brake cable bracket spacers, wheel well height 43."
Front diff and rear ds drop; trailer hitch electrical harness tucked up above bumper.
After 20K miles swapped 305/65/18 BFG AT for 285/75/18 Toyo AT, still on stock 18x8x60 offset TRD wheels, about 1/8" clearance to sway bar. Like the extra height but miss the width. Next time either 305/70/18 or 35x12.50/18.
Added 5th 285/75/18 Toyo AT as spare. Foam pad above spare to help with bed bounce.
TRD exhaust, 26K miles, 17mpg city after battery disconnect reset. Note: after 7K miles of data, I think the improved mileage is more from a gentler right foot than anything else.
Bed Bounce: Stiffer E-tires are worse than stock P-metric; biggest improvement from PRG mini-pack, slight improvement from shocks and foam pad above spare. Still a stiff ride but tolerable now.
Best things about this truck: 5.7 and transmission, interior size and comfort, very quiet at high speed.
Worst things about this truck: bed bounce, no VSC in 4wd, mileage sucks above 70.
What did you forget you were driving a Toyota????????????
I drove three Nissans before that. Just happened to get lucky that an incredible vendor also offers products for my new truck. Greg's products are tried and tested with customer service available 7 days a week.
These springs are $199, btw.

I have a similar minipak but from a different manufacturer. General Springs from Kansas made some tester mini-paks for $100 back last year and I volunteered to try it on my RCSB. Big difference in ride quality. The height increased an inch and according to General Springs, the truck have lost 500 pounds in payload capacity. You can compensate by installing air bags, that is if you haul or tow really heavy. Washboard roads feels smoother, no jitters, backslaps. General Springs is also a forum member under name of generalspring. But I haven't heard from him for a long time now. Mod can be done in the garage or driveway, uses stock u-bolts, works with TRD sway bar.
For DC or Crewmax, the ride will be much smoother cause the truck is heavier. Of course, I wanted more smoother ride so I ordered custom springs from Alcan Springs. Just arrived today and I will be installing them tomorrow. 8 leaf springs, with poly bushings and u bolts.
Still looks the same for my RCSB. It has not sagged or deformed. The 3 leafs combined thickness is more than the overload spring that's why it raised the rear, but as far as the arc of the stock springs, it has not changed. I've had these for 7 or 8 mos now. The center spring needs to be replaced with a longer one for this mod. The stock bolt is too short and you won't be able to align the leaves properly and keep them centered.
