15% on mine
I started off taking a recommendation from the shop and put 15% on just the front 2 windows trying to match the back.
This was too dark. I went back trying to get this corrected, and rather than strip/change I ended up adding the 15% to the rear 3 windows. I didn't like the color difference between the factory tint and the front windows anyway.
What I ended up with can be a little dark at night, but I'm getting used to it. I think it looks great. It also helps that the front is lighter than the rear.
If I had to do it all over, I would probably go with 20% all around. Just slightly lighter.

Something else I have found is when I have all three TVs on it is REALLY hard to see out the back windows!

I know this is going to sound stupid, but it'll help if you do understand it.
The secret to having tinted windows is learning how to focus through them and not at them.
That being said, this truck is too big to double up on the limo tint over the privacy glass like I did in my Ranger.
