    You just lifted, right?

    I wanted Terras but they wouldn't fit the AR's without lifting.
    I still had to get down and dirty in there.

    I had to bend back some of the front-rear wheel well (underneath the lining) and then zip-tied the lining out of the way.

    Ya I had them put on to see how much tires stuck out of the wheel well with AR's I have. Lol no way it would work unless I was only going in a straight line

    So ya lift required just didnt know how squirrely it felt driving that high up. I feel like I am floating...

    That means they will send enough material to do either two, or four fender wells...I ordered the one in the top right pic...the one with the wire in the lip.
    I ordered a set, not two...maybe roll was the wrong word to use...think more like coiled into a flat box.
