Thoughts on Bell helmets?

Soon-to-be new rider, looking at helmets. I went to a riding store the other day and tried a Bell and a Shoei. I found the Bell to fit me more comfortably than the Shoei. In reading other posts about recommendations for helmets, I never see Bell mentioned. Just want to make sure I’m not about to invest in something thats bad. TYIA

Thinking about getting 10%-15% on my back windows and 20% on the front. Anyone running that or darker and have much in the way of issues getting ticketed/cited for it? It’s tempting, but I don’t want to regret it lol

I'm a little overwhelmed by all of this and need some advice. I'm driving a 2021 F150 SXT (XL) 2.7L V6. I'm currently Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent 275/60R20. I rarely, if ever, take it off road. It's mostly used as a daily driver.

I've wanted to level the truck. Maybe only do the front end up 1.5"-1.75" though, nothing over 2". Initially looked at the pucks, however it seems like those are kind of frowned-upon. I've seen lots of recommendations for looking into shocks/struts, as those can assist with not only leveling the truck, but also providing a more comfortable and controlled experience.

It seems like the best two options for what I use my truck for would be the Bilstein 5100 or the Eibach Pro Truck Stage 2, leaning a bit more towards Eibach. However I feel like I've seen tons of mixed reviews in regard to how much it improves the ride quality for on-road/daily driver use.

Any insight, personal experience, general knowledge, etc, would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately this is a topic I'm extremely new to, and am a bit overwhelmed trying to learn about all of this and make a sound financial decision.
