Thanks Andy .... That one is a 3 1/2 " chop (rear), tipped foward, to give right @ 4" in the front. The pillars are layed back, & she still gets a lot of attention running around town. At 5" 9", that is as short as I would cut one(dont fit me too bad......you just stop a couple lenghts back to see the stop lights)! I have seen some more radical cuts, & while I do think they look good on a shortbase truck, they are not easy to drive(unless you are 5 foot nothing). Im not as young as "I once was", & IMHO, a 2 1/2 -3 " chop is the way to go on these old trucks......just enough that you notice something is different.....but have to think about what it is crazyL
