    Wouldn't this also be done to make the back wider. So it would better match the LT front width without using spacers.

    yes wider, but also lets you put the shocks on the outside of the frame and have them in front of the axle tilted forward.

    0% would let no light in. When you get pulled over and they meter it, let us know how much light it lets in.

    People driving down the road, barely being able to see out their windows, because it "looks cool", bother me. Enjoy your tint, and welcome to Tacoma World.

    Honestly how do you see when in reverse or at night? I can imagine going higher than stock maybe to 30-50% but.... that is freaking dark. I guess it is your truck and up to you. & I still support your ability to do w\e the $%#& you want with your own stuff.

    But from a police officer's perspective: walking up to a truck with windows like that can really put your balls in your stomach. 200 lumen surefire lights don't even penetrate that kind of tint & most truck owners are also gun owners. I hate speeding tickets and douche-bag cops more than anyone I know but I still think tint like that is pushing it for a road vehicle.

    I got some windows tinted that were 15%, but I think that really meant 85% with 100% being no tint... Even with that, it was impossible to see at night when backing up, I hated it...
