Default ATX Slab Beadlocks for a DD - need help today

Ive read a bunch of opinions but wanted to ask it straight out... I am considering buying the ATX Slab for my 2012 JKU. Am I asking for trouble by going with a beadlock rim for a daily driver? Are they really that much maintenance (torque, etc)?

Thanks a lot

Thanks for all the quick replies. SOunds like there isn't an issue with headlocks for a DD. Are all the negative DD posts online just old or BS or what?

No BS. There is some added maintenance but it isn't bad and you just need to know how and why your beadlocks work. I run the atx slabs on my jeep and love them. No problems. I'd recommend checking the torque of the bolts once a month and you're good to go. Ang FYI I've never had a loose ring bolt yet
