I'd go without TPMS, and stick with the tried and true manual way:thumb:
Pardon my ignorance here... Do slabs not accept normal valve stems? If so, why didn't you transfer your tmps stems?
FWIW, I bought some cheap tpms sensors (that work great so far) for my 2013 here when I bought some new wheels:

Those of you with 2012's. They use a different tpms frequency system though (I vaguely recall reading).
(Also, you must be crazy if you don't love TPMS. It's helped me out so many times... including today when I identified a slow leak.)
Going old school on mine. Just the ones they came with and already turned it off.
With the 13's you can shut off the TPMS or set the threshold to the lowest readable setting which is 20 or 25 psi. The problem is that the TPMS alerts when you are within 6 or 8 psi of your low setting.
I had my tires set right around 28-30psi and the TPMS threshold set at the lowest limit(20-25 psi), and my TPMS alert was always light up. I ended up shutting it off and when I got my slabs I installed basic valves.

This is the same experience I had with mine. I really liked the readout on the dash so I kept my TPMS in the slabs. With a Procal I had mine set at 28 and the alert is as low as it can go at 22. The stock sensors don't seem to be very accurate below the stock tire pressure ranges because my alarm goes off pretty frequently. Sometimes I just need to drive around for a bit before it realizes that I have 29 psi instead of 17 in two of my tires. My advice would probably be to switch them into your slabs, see if you like it, and you have a flashcal so you can always turn it off later.
Hell, I have a spare set of the sensors. Yeah I'll just throw em in and disable it if it gets annoying or doesn't act right. Thanks
I feel if I had the individual read out like the newer ones I think I would have kept the sensors....but the 12s just had the light so I ditched them.
I have TPMS sensors in my 14. I also use the AEV procal to set the threshold to 22psi. My tires are at 28psi for 2k miles since install without issue. IMO it's fantastic to have the reading on the dash.
BTW, Mel's video for mounting tires on Slabs (37" Trail Grapplers for me) is fantastic! Great help! :clap2::clap2:
