Thanks for your question, I hope I can help! Our rods come in 6 increments and the pendants can be adjusted in 6 heights. We do not recommend cutting the rods, as you would need to then re-thread the cut end, but it is possible. Please note that once a part has been altered, it cannot be returned and the warranty is nulled. If you choose to cut the rods to the specific length needed, you will need to tap new threading to the inside of the rod -- to do so you would need to purchase a tap set (if working with a contractor, this shouldn't be a big deal). Another option is to do the math based on the specific angle of your sloped ceiling and have your junction boxes placed at a distance apart where the drop will fall approximately 6 lower than the last one. I hope this helps to answer your question. The Aria is a beautiful pendant and looks great in all styles of kitchens!
