    I get it quite often on two-lane roads and canyons, but also stopped at red lights and in the city. People flash their brights on me almost daily. Sometimes, I turn on my brights to show them they are wrong. I usually drive with my fogs on, so they go off when I flash my brights back. I kinda wish I had some hideously bright light bars to add in the mix. I know they are just trying to be courteous, and I assume it's just that my lift is the perfect height for their retinas. One time, a guy in front of me at a red light (travelling the same direction) flipped me off because they were right in his rear-view mirror. That one was annoying.

    Anyone else get this often?

    You probably need to adjust your headlight aim if this is happening.

    This^^^^. It's the courteous thing to do. Plus blinding people driving toward you is dangerous for all parties involved.

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    Yes. But that's because I have OME 886 coils and no weight up front. Luckily @Pelfreybilt is helping me fix my bulldog stance.

    Even when I was on 885s with only skids/sliders, only the low cars would flash me.

    This. Even if you're not lifted, your headlights can be out of adjustment.

    Yep. There are two adjuster screws on the back of each headlight housing. One makes them go left or right, the other moves the beam up or down.

    It's how they come off the lot I think. I have the stock suspension and get fullsize trucks flashing me at times.
