As above if its done well it looks good, however if the rear end is rot free I think its better to keep the back end as it is and just tube around it to protect it. Sjs always look better stock (ish! I can't say too much mine has been chopped around quite a lot)

Got to agree with Scottie, if the back end is ok leave it as is.
Had a tray back and never really liked it, no real rear vision from the cab and the lack of weight on the rear end vastly unimproved handling on road.

don't do it!

some traybacks look alright, but I'd always say that a more or less standard rear end > trayback

Do it level with the door handles.

My mate did one and it was lovely.
