So far I priced inch and a half 3/8 bolt grade 8 and washers and grade 8 nylon insert lock nuts was 140. But at least I know how strong my bolts are. Not sure what they send with the kit but I will be going this route

The only thing that makes beadlocks illegal is most are not on dot aproved wheels.

dot approval has nothing to do with the legallity of something for your vehicle, its more a standard for companies to follow. For example, is your lift kit dot approved? Or bumper?
