    Hey everyone, i just put a lift on my taco and i forgot to take the measurements of the headlight height before i put it on. If anyone with a stock taco could do a measurement of the height of the cutoff of the headlights from 15ft back from a wall and let me know what the headlight cutoff is that would be awesome!!! I was thinking 15 feet back to the front bumper any help with be appreciated
    Thanks,
    Austin

    You should have a 3" drop at 25'. Pull your truck right up to the wall in a flat area, measure the cut off height. Back up 25' and the cut off should be 3" lower. If you can only backup 15' then 15'/25'=.6 .6 x 3" = 1.8" lower. However it is more accurate to use longer distances to adjust your headlights if possible.
