Tint how u want and legality allows. Window darkness /color never ment anything to me as far as having to have a lifted truck .

my truck has 5% all the way around (did it myself) but my ranger had 27% all around for a while but i didn't like it so I had that changed to 20%. I'm not sure how much backing up you do, but with 5% on the back makes it hard to see to back up without rolling down the windows in my truck. I'm thinking about adding some rear lights though to see if that will help the problem.

i paid 90 to tint my door windows which included the vent windows.. decent price and MA legal limit of 35%.. i wish they were darker.. id say go 20% bu also check with your state laws.

i might be able to go a little darker still.

no idea what those percentages are, just seeing how dark i could go before i thought it looked bad. this seems like it'd work.

i'll make an appt soon, might have to wait until after thanksgiving

10% on the fronts. PO did it and its peelin bad. The back are like 15-20 but its a purple tint. Looks black from the outside but everything looks purple looking out of it.

Gonna get it redone to 5% all the way around. But it is a PIta at night. Im going to get the rebel flag banner for the back window...

Tom I think this looks pretty good:

I even put a little bit of a tint on the windows on the other side so that they appear darker than the untinted windshield... For added effect ;)

No not factory. I have factory privacy glass then added tint on top of that on the rear which makes the back ALMOST blacked out completly.

The front is just 5% film
