They are drop shipped from LOD and LOD shows them available on their site now so I'm assuming they should be shipping soon.

Were the ones you purchased body mounted?Wait, they said they’re available but have a 60-90 day lead time? I paid Northridge over $700 for these things a few months back.
60 - 90 sounds a bit ridiculous. We will try to get them to you faster than that for sureDid they give a shipping lead time other than 60-90 days?
Not sure. Didn’t realize there was a difference.Were the ones you purchased body mounted?
A few months back the frame-mounted ones were still in development so it was most likely the body-mounted ones.Not sure. Didn’t realize there was a difference.
What is the ETA of these? I assumed when the status became available on your web site they were ready to go.60 - 90 sounds a bit ridiculous. We will try to get them to you faster than that for sure
According to the installation instructions the body bolts are not removed or even loosened, only the two smaller bolts that hold the body mount bushing. This played a big factor in my decision due to reports of people who broke those bolts installing other steps/sliders so I ordered the lod destroyers last night.Am I correct to assume that I will not need to remove the body bolts for this install?
Is it confirmed these will fit the 2019 as well?
This is exactly my line of thinking,...I dont want to pay anyone for the install, but those body bolts make me nervousAccording to the installation instructions the body bolts are not removed or even loosened, only the two smaller bolts that hold the body mount bushing.

There's a youtube video of installation of the lod signature sliders and he does loosen the body bolts in order to push the washer out of the way to get the lod mount to clear the washer. I'm really hoping that isn't necessary when I do my install.
This is the same thought process I went through. I’m more than willing to drill the additional holes, but those body mount bolts I want nothing to do with. Aside from the JL issues with people breaking the bolts, I believe LOD on the JK version originally specified the wrong torque for the body mount bolts and people over torqued and damaged the body. I think LOD is motivated to not touch the body mounts as well!According to the installation instructions the body bolts are not removed or even loosened, only the two smaller bolts that hold the body mount bushing.
