I bought a set from Phoenix Graphics in Arizona.
OEM Quality. Used a 97'-98' metallic blue from
Indy Ram Set on White Club Cab. Approx.$500 They made custom lengths to accomodate the club cab and my tonneau less the SST cutouts. No extra charge (other quotes $1,000-1,500) Large "Dodge" Windshield decal $30. On tail, smaller "Dodge" Decal and "4x4" from Stickergirl.com ($5 ea.) Very difficult to put on if you haven't before. Probably another $100-300 for quality professional application. Everyone comments positively on the truck. Lots of Looks.

As far as installation, there are several sites
which offer free instructions on application selling fluid to install graphics. Don't have the specific one I used, Phoenix Graphics suggested
a small amount of ivory soap in a gallon of water.
Tsp.? Tblspn? Tips: Start on small area, grill, tailgate, etc. Clean well, measure before install.
Don't overstretch corners in application and if extra material apply stretched area past cutoff.
Use thin full layer of fluid under whole decal.
Better more than less. On long stretches, mark
edge in middle with pencil. Don't scrape when
smoothing water out under decal or surface area or vinyl will show scratches. Don't sweat small bubbles, they can be pinned out with small sharp pin without showing and heat/wear will reduce size. Make sure its not windy/dusty and temp is right, 65-80. Second pair of clean gentle hands
sure helps. Do one section at a time maybe on different days.

I had a buddy who took his to a body shop and had them painted on. They looked pretty good, not sure what he paid though. Maybe worth checking into... maybe not?
