ATX Beadlocks

Yeah this is another Chamber Pro 2 vs Slab Tread
I'm gonna get some of these and I'm sure I cant go wrong with either there are a few things Id like to know before spending 2 grand.
1) Why does the ATX site list the Slab as Off Road Only but does not Note this for the Camber Pro 2?
2) Are both the Black Slabs and Chambers Teflon Coated?

Truth be told I'm Leaning toward the Slabs be the Chambers dual Valve stems are a nice touch. I like the Wider Stance I would Get with the Slabs too.
The Slabs also tend to be a bit less Expensive but not enough to be the deciding factor. My Take Chambers are More New and Improved and the Slabs are
the Originals

They are also different offsets between the wheels. It depends on your setup. I think if your on stock axles you need the 3.5" backspacing of the slab to run 37's
If your running a full width one ton axle you probably not going to want the slab because you would start to get excessively wide. The backspacing of the chamber 4.02 will help pull your tires back in a bit and also improve your scrub radius, which equals better turning radius and less wear on parts.

Both are beadlock wheels and the "off road only" note will apply to both. This is because neither are DOT approved but really, that doesn't mean a whole lot. Sorry, couldn't tell you what the finish is like on the Chamber Pro II as I run them in the machined finish. Slabs are nice wheels too and as you know, have less back spacing. Both use the same rings and they are tough.

How are the Chamber Pro IIs working on Moby with full width axles and DTD? Getting ready for XD60/80 + DTD + 40x13.5 and really like the machined Pros, but was under the impression that even with the Slabs, rubbing of the front shocks is an issue. Thanks in advance.

You won't have any problems running the Chamber Pro II's with DTD's on a full width XD60/80.

I havent had any issues with running beadlocks in AZ as far as law enforcement giving me grief. While they are advertised as "off road only," this is mostly due to the fact that there is nothing specific as these being legal. If that makes sense. From what was explained to me was everything is legal, until there is something specifically stating it's not.

Several of us are running Slabs, Chamber ProII and the Machete wheels on daily drivers. You can't go wrong with any of them. Personally I like the slabs simplicity and that they have a center cap.
