Actually, I think these slight chops look the best (especially on AD's). Most people chop too much then don't lower the truck enough and it destroys the lines. It tends to have the profile of a 2x4. The juice is worth the squeeze if the end result looks good.

The best custom mods are those subtle ones that you need to really look at. They are not so radical that the vehicle no longer resembles its stock form.

My 2 cents anyway......

I always thought AD trucks look funny with to much chop. But yes lots of work
