This may be a silly question but then I'm new to this whole offroading thing. I would really like to get a safari bar and a set of Tone's step bars for my VX but I don't know if I should get them before Moab or afterward. Looking at the pix on Tone's site, it looks like the step bars might cut clearance down a but (but then they might protect from attack rocks, too).

Any thoughts from you guys who have been there, done that?
