i dont know about where your at but around here as long as you stay from 35-20% cops dont even care...if you dont care....I would go 2.5% back window 5% all four side windows and leave the windshield, at least if you actually drive your truck at night, but deff. tint 'em

is your back window tinted at all? if it is i would still go 5 on the front sides it will make it dark enough inside that your other windows will seem way darker than they are

Around Illinois, State cops got a hard on for anything more then stock tint. One of there own came up headless some years back. He walked up to a car and the shotgun blast came right through the tinted window.

I like the looks but I had to take my rear tint off for movin things around after dark. Especially this time a year when it's already dark midway through the day on an ovecast day. I got tickers on the back windows now so you can't look in at the back seat without some effort. I keep a good amount of tools and equipment back there.

The laws vary from state to state, province to province, country to country.

Here's a couple links for sites that provide statutes:

British Columbia Statute

Here's Iowa's, Zach:
