Default Sliders vs. beadlocks

I'm defiantly getting both but should I get the poison spyder sliders or the atx slabs first?

Do you wheel in a lot of rocks? If so, sliders. Do you wheel in places where there's not necessarily a lot of spots for body damage, but need to air down? Get whichever seems more practical to you first.

Sliders. You'll regret not getting them after your first wheeling adventure.

IMHO I'd suggest EVO. They're solid as hell and have seen them in two configurations. One with more of a downward (out) angle so they also function as a step. I'm currently running rubi rails but EVO sliders are on my build sheet and a couple of mods away. Good luck!

How does the bent down thing for use as a step look?
