yep, well stated. a good rule of thumb is the body line on the bottom rear of the fender should be parallel to the bottom of the cab/the running boards. really if its a horizontal straight line, it should be parallel to all the horizontal straight lines: bed rails, running boards. etc. the eye can notice even a 1/16 difference in angle, so step back and look.
