I don't know if Toyota has done anything to correct the bed bounce problem in the 08's or not, but plenty of us with 07's know it's real.
If you were only test driving the vehicle, you wouldn't have noticed bed bounce unless you were driving over bridge abutments, washboards or long stretches of wavy concrete on the freeway, etc. The bed bounce problem only comes into play through the resonance of sustained bouncing at a constant speed, which amplifies the bouncing as you drive.
Despite the fact Super Springs cut down on bed bounce, I tow a 32', 8,700 lb TT with my truck, and I opted to install Super Springs instead of a problem prone air-suspension system that constantly needs monitoring and adjusting, and costs twice as much. I know what I'm talking about because I used to run air-suspension on my old trucks.
As an added bonus, the Super Springs drastically cut down on sway and wheel hop, so much so that I would have never purchased and installed my TRD sway bar if I'd have known how well they worked.
So as you can see, if you tow or haul anything; which is why most of us bought the truck in the first place, or you just want to reduce sway, wheel hop and bed bounce while adding substantial hauling capacity without sag, then opting to install a set of Super Springs is money well spent, and hardly what I'd call an "unnecessary accessory."
But that's just my opinion.
