Toyota has sprung the Tundra's rear axle coil springs on the smaller Taco.

adoption of TNGA-F comes a switch to a more modern rear suspension; still using a live axle, the Tacoma now offers coil springs instead of old-school leafs, just like the larger Tundra. Unlike the Tundra, the coil-sprung rear end isn't used across the Tacoma family—only certain models get the modification, curiously, though given how the same design's been received on the Tundra, that might be a good thing.

The aftermarket, of course, has a solution, though it's one not often deployed on the OEM side: Using a"floating" axle where the housing is allowed to stay in place by using a linkage system and a pair of roller perches replaces the rigid and welded ones on the housing. This is a common modification in the aftermarket for trucks and muscle cars , not so much on factory trucks.

The easiest way to visualize this is to think of a single sheet of paper over a gap versus a stack of papers over the same gap. A single sheet of paper might hold up a one pound weight, but add more weight and it will start to sag. Add a second sheet of paper to it and that sag reduces as both sheets are now bearing the load. You can add a thicker piece of paper to reduce that sag without changing the height of the stack dramatically. Again, that's merely a visualization.
