    I have a stock '15 TRD OR that I plan on buying a set of 5100s with the front shocks set at 1.75". Stock coils will be reused. This will give me the leveled look I'm going after. So my question is will they be ok to use with a full set of skids underneath? They are CBI if that matters. Will the weight compress the stock coils too much? Is this safe for moderate trail riding? This setup will be used for 8-12 months until I can fully decide on what kit I want.

    I would wait and buy it all at once to be honest. I want a new suspension so bad but learned on a previous vehicle to just wait and spend the money!
