Thanks all for the replies. I had tried the template tool on here with a few different attempts. I also did my own use Paintshop Pro X4 using the AST-2 drawings as well as one of the templates on here by ChazInMT. I changed the photo I used originally, pulled one from the net as I wasn't able to get as good of clean side shot currently. I reused the streamlining template my roof peaks right about the rear of the door. Again, same thing only this time past 16 degrees I believe but still just a inch or two above the tailgate. The bed of my truck is 8.2' I think the issue of the way the truck sits is causing me the most trouble. If it does make it back to 16+ degrees, isn't that a bad thing for the aerodynamic effects when it comes into calculation for reduction? I thought 12 degrees or about was optimal, or is my understand all wrong? If it terminates early, will it have a negative impact on reducing drag and increasing MPG? I seem to remember others saying the tail should be 5 to 7 inches tall at the tailgate, but can't find what threads it was in. Thanks - Vajra
