Xdave happened to me once on my wrangler and will never happen again. The last step of anything involving loosening lug nuts is to check everything before putting the keys back in the ignition.

Yes, mine is coming the UK via USPS (will be Parcelfarce once it hits the UK. Phone your local depot the day they receive it and you can pay the customs charges in advance of the invoice which usually takes a week to arrive.

Glad to help...

In fact, when Lenny told me they were ready, I stepped to the back of the line to make sure everybody got theirs ASAP since I was in no hurry. Happy to hear that they are trickling in. I am now reminded to order myself a set of lug nuts in black since they are shipping.

Be sure to post B4 N After pics.

Also, thanks to Polaris from me. My post was short the other day, due to time. I'll post some after pics, but might not get before photos. I'll be installing mine when front wheels are off to repair the front end damage.

Mid-install pics would be nice - spacers installed on one side not the other. A pic about 25' from the rear. On a sunny day. With bird's singing preferably.

installed the spacers this afternoon. love the stance!
as a tip, a little grease on the wheel hub helped a lot on tightening the rim to the spacer.

With the wheel gap, it looks like an off-road vehicle now. You gotta go all the way and lower it. VAP offers a good mild (0.9") drop.

1.2-1.5" H&R drop

Yikes. I'm not sure I like it that flush. I may have a set for sale after I see a few more photos.

Flush is the goal, look at any Ferrari.

Consider XPEL on the rockers and both in front of and behind the rear wheels, because I certainly see a lot more road rash in your futures. It's bad enough w/ the OEM offset.
