Whatcha think? Truck feels a little mushy now, anyone else have the same feeling after going to a larger rim and tire?

Did you do that from stock wheels? Ya, it'll feel mushier, but I prefer it over the bone jarring ride of the stock tires.

good call on the tint, it's one of the cheapest mods that has the most impact on looks.

I went to larger wheels/tires and it went much firmer, not mushier...

Looks good get the tint done and some more pics. Tint looks good on any truck in my opinion.

I'm figuring a 20% add all the way around (not on the windshield)

Make sure to get some pictures when you get it done. I have the same color truck and can't decide between 15 or 20%.

20% all the way around

That looks good. How did they do that, just lay 20% all the way around and over the factory back tint? It looks like the front and back match pretty close. I want to get mine done within the next few weeks so I'm curious.

yep... just went 20% on everything front and back... the back is a little darker of course... it not as noticeable from the outside (the differences) but from the inside you can tell the back is darker...
