    For those of you who have lifted their trucks, did you realign your headlights to compensate or correct its trajectory? Lifting dramatically changes where the light shines and blinds other motorists if not corrected. I lifted my truck 3" today and this posed a concern. Your thoughts and observations please.

    I did a 3" and i had to re-align. its the bottom screws on each headlight for the up and down. I got it backwards. It says its the top adjustment screw all over the place on here. the top is left to right. good luck!!!

    I drove the truck last night to see how the headlights shine. The low beams seem to be fine with the simultaneus use of the stock fog lights, looks like i'll just keep it on factory settings. :thumbsup:
