By spring you mean front coil spring and not rear leaf springs?Bump stops should rarely make contact. No, regular contact is NOT normal.
This indicates a problem with the suspension. weak spring, dead shock, ball joints, dead bushings......
I bet those upper ball joints are roasted toastedBump stops should rarely make contact. No, regular contact is NOT normal.

Bump stops on the back spring I believe look triangle like a pyramidThere are bump stops in the front and rear.
There are many bushings in the suspension.
At the age and mileage of your truck, it would be no surprise if all bushings were beyond their usefulness.

Sounds more like you have bad struts again.
Following your diagnosis process is like trying to follow a random number generator................well darnit! they only have 25k miles on them Monroes
same thing was happening with the bilstein 5100s at a time,
one bad thing i heve noticed with the Monroe Vs Bilstein
the Monroes are NOT corrosion resistant, half the coating is peeling off to rust on the bottoms lol

Dude, you're all over the place and bounce around never solving or repairing anything.
Your truck is in the high mileage range. It will/needs maintenance and repair. It ain't gonna fix itself.
You likely have multiple suspension problems.
Start with the front ball joints. These are critical. Then address the rear leafs. Then tackle the shocks.
Stop. Focus. Identify. Solve. Next.
It won't make 500 kmiles without spending some $$ on repairs.
For some reason it seems you have weak springs or poor to no compression damping in those struts. I used them on my heavier tundra, and they were great. They took a couple weeks before they settled in as the front end of the truck had sat a little higher when 1st installed. I assume you may of noticed that when you first put them on your tacoma. Monroe did offer 2 Quickstuts types for my tundra at the time. I took the more expensive ones with a longer warranty.
