I have seen them on our trucks and wouldnt recommend it.
I (and thats just me) dont like the way they look unless it is a very small chop. But then only going to a small chop is it worth it? I dont think so. I might also have some pictures, Ill check and see. If you do decide to do it, post pictures as you go. I am sure other board members may be interested.

I personally think it takes away from the trucks proportions if you chop one, unless it is going to be a mild 1-2" chop, the you have to think what is the point.....
Here is some pics of one also: http://www.streetsourcemag.com/Profi...rofileid=10776
