    These trucks are notorious for being bright lighted stock, so I'm sure the OP's had to be awful bad. Glad to see you corrected it.

    I found this thread by search because I'm going put 5100's on at 1.75 hopefully in the next couple of weeks and was looking to find a guideline for adjusting. I already get checked occasionally being stock :eek: so I guess maybe I should go a bit below the standard.

    Good thread!

    Will they adjust them according to your lift, worried they might lower too low. I did notice a little less usable light on road

    That "notice a little less usable light on the road" phrase concerns me. My neighbor has an itty bitty Mitsubishi sports car (eyes 30 inches off the pavement) and it seems to me that "glare" must be in the eye of the beholder - so having a truck (or other tall vehicle) obligates the owner to point their lights at the ground for the sake of the lowest driver? My other neighbor has a nice Tundra and he thinks the Taco's lights are fine - so does the school bus driver.
