I had the front windshield on another vechicle and man do the DPS's hate that, they pulled me over alot of times for it..

I did order the black headlighs and taillights just like the ones you have, just waiting on them..

About the 40's i dont know if they will fit.. Plus i have a set of Toyo 37X13.50/22's in the shop ready to go on..

I still want a MegaCab Dually tho

Absolutely STUNNING!!!
Okay, I will have to admit that it will look great, but seeing better at night is not really true. I have a medium tint on mine, I have had both 35% and now the 20% and it is okay as long as you live in a really bright area. Otherwise if you are out on Rural roads you really cannot see that great at all.

Great looking truck though!

I hear ya! The 40's SHOULD fit if those wheels have the right backspacing, which they look like they do. The way to tell is make a little rectangle out of paper or cardboard that is 1 1/2" by 1". When you have someone turn your wheels, put that piece of cardboard against the tire where it is closest to the truck. If it clears, your tires will, if not, some mods will need to be done!

I would think that 35% tint on the front wouldn't get you hassled TOO much.

You really think so? I found that 35% tint that had "high visibility" categorization was just as easy to see out of as a normal windshield. Maybe the xenons made that the case, but I only got benefit from it. I had no drawbacks. I could see if you had "low visibility" 35% that it might be a problem.

35% as in that's how much of the light gets through.

There's 1 problem with tint on the windshield.. I live in a non rural area the closest city is 85 miles and from here to there is NOTHING, i cant see crap at stop signs, somtimes i gotta roll down the windows to see.. In the city is no problem, except for backing up thats is..

I'm running TruViews at the moment and i am about to upgrade to HID's if i can..

Cool, well then maybe think about the other two suggestions. You will LOVE the HIDs. Get the Bi-Xenon and you will be super pleased. Mine are 12000K and I really like the color.

There is an Ebay seller "HIDWorld" that is excellent and has everything you can imagine!
