Question Tacoma TRD suspension upgrade

I have a 99 Tacoma TRD 4-cylinder. I use the truck in my construction business and sometimes seriously overload the bed. I think I am about due for new shocks at least and would like some recommendations. I notice that the back end is starting to squat somewhat, even with the bed unloaded. Will new shocks correct this or do I need new leaf springs as well? I have also noticed that the TRD leafsprings have a reverse camber to those of the regular tachoma. Is it possible to put those type of leafsprings on the TRD to increase payload capacity? How will that affect the ride? Any recomendations for replacement shocks other than the bilsteins? Thanks in advance

Good question. Does he need shocks are springs or both? Wasn't there a recall on some Tacoma's with inverted lift springs.

Also, Welcome to the Forum.
