    Llams or rock sliders

    Ok.. So here is the question.
    You have a D4 and want to spend around $600 on something...
    Now rock sliders will save the chassis in the unlikely event that you venture onto some really gnarly tracks, but the rest of the time do nothing... Llams however will save you from the same rocks if you know what your doing but also give you more options playing with the suspension on a day to day basis....

    So what would you spend the money on ?

    LLAMS first then sliders as soon as you need and/or are able. This is what I will be doing in my D3.

    Yep, Llams is the best single mod you can do IMHO.

    Also you will struggle to get a good set of rock sliders for $600.

    Yup. Llams was my first mod. Use it every day as it allows me to fit in the garage with a roof tent and saves the annoying suspension lowering when on the beach and going a bit faster than would normally be allowed. Saying that I now also have the rock sliders fitted and a compressor protection plate.

    LLAMS wins everytime
    Sliders do not protect the chassis, just your sills.

    LLAMS will give you clearance over obstacles that your sills / sliders would hit.

    Well I have LLAMS and think it is great BUT given the options in the OP I would go rock sliders and get GOE Rods with the change - best of both worlds.

    The save your pennies and then get LLAMS later.

    For those with LLAMS, do you operate it day to day in stock position or lowered? If the latter do you get a better ride?

    I drive around on a day to day basis with LLAMS set at -20mm - ride is no different to normal onroad height. No need for wheel alignment.
