The best thing I installed is one of the "radar" back up systems, I found a guy from Hong Kong that sells on Ebay that makes a very nice unit for under $60 and it comes with four sensors you put into your bumper( the drill bit to cut the holes is included as well) the sensors also come in colors, about 8 colors OR you can paint to match your truck, the unit goes into the rear brake light for power and activates whenever you put the truck into reverse PLUS this guy's units only give out the distances in FEET and tenths of feet, not meters as most foreign units do, the warning unit mounts with two sided tape to the housing on the steering wheel just before the gap to the dashboard and moves up and down with the tilt wheel affect...this is really nice to know how close you are to backing into a wall, bush , garage wall or whatever and damaging the bumper which wouldn't stand a simple impact...just my $.02, like it and bought more for my other cars as well..
 
Fortunatly my garage is 24' deep, so I do not come close to the wall when backing in. I also have a fixed spot on the wall in my garage I look at when backing it in. I know it is sometimes hard to judge a truck when backing up, my Hemi 4x4 is worse being higher off the ground, things disappear behind me fast.
 
That's nice! I am going to look into that!!

Do you happen to have a link to the vendor?
 
OK, you didn't give us a link, you didn't give us pictures. Can you give us the vendor's name so we can go see what you got? What a tease. :D Although, I don't think I could bring myself to drill holes in my bumper. Might be interested in a under bumper unit.

Sorry can't do pictures right now, The truck is "sleeping" in Ohio while I winter for four months in Florida...the link is correct for the correct guy on Ebay, rather quick shipping about two weeks total, get the four sensor units, and the optional led display, I have never tried the stick on sensors, I have always used the drill type and mount in the bumper with a dab of clear silicone adhesive, per the one person with the 24 foot garage, this installed is very useful when you go to a parking lot and there is a pole or wall or thick bushes PLUS big asset is you don't back into someone else's bumber and scratches...
