    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    Windshield tint I'm pretty sure is just flat out illegal. Different states have different regulations though on window tint. Some allow 5% some 35%

    im pretty sure its illegal in california. darkest id go would be 35% but thats just me haha. it really helps with glare though so its up to you to risk getting it put on.

    yeah both are illegal, any tint at all is technically illegal. i was thinking limo rear, 35% on the sides and 50% for the windshield (not really set on doing the windshield too, but it'd be great for keeping the heat/glare down)

    I've got 5% on the back windows and 45% on the front. I wouldn't go any darker kinda doesn't help with night visibility. But I do plan on getting a 5% visor after the LED bar.

    to be honest, you can run whatever size you want. just depends where you mount the clevis/tab on the frame. i dont have a burg kit but im running a 15" strap up front.

    i don't remember how dark mine is but i have it pretty damn dark up front and then limo in the rear three windows and have never had a problem with it in two years (knock on wood :eek:) you can tint the first 4 inches of your front windshield "brow" legally, there is a little mark on your windshield too that shows how low you can go with it and then the back three are fair game for anything, but it kills visibility at night is the only downside...but i think depending on the color of your truck it can be easier to get away with if you have a dark truck then a lighter colored truck because it doesn't stick out as much. i just like the limo in the rear so people cant see in my back seats and the tint up front is super nice during the day because its not bright as shit in the cab. On a side note though if you really want the tint and don't want a ticket get a note from your eye doctor and keep it in the glove box and your allowed to have it, just legally you cant drive the car at night even with the note so if they pull you over for window tint at night then just don't show the note haha theres a guy in SM who did mine for 70 bucks and did a killer job if you don't already have a guy

    Any glass makers make a 6" buldge for bedsides (non-trophy truck style) ...haven't found any online. I'm looking at going 3.5+ per side on a 9" and my current glass isn't gonna cut it.
