    Trucks come from the factory with rake (slightly more lift in the rear) to compensate for any rear sag from towing/hauling weight, some more than others but they all do. Which is why even leveled trucks look strange and slightly "bro'ed out" to me. Lift the rear a 1/2 inch - 1 inch higher than the front for the best look, IMO.

    So you're just going to flash everyone who comes at you from the opposite way? Wouldn't it be easier just to adjust them?

    Yeah I hated to sell it, was part of the family but my lifelong friend bought it and gave it to his son. I still see it all the time.

    :eek: This almost makes me shed a tear! I had this truck in 4wd. Same color and graphics. I have absolutely regretted selling that truck ever since! It was such a tank!

    If your beams are too high and in the on-coming drivers' face, regardless of whether or not you have low-beams on or not, it's a hazard. Doesn't matter if you're signaling to them that your lows are on, it's still a distraction. You really should adjust them back down if you're going to ride nose-up.

    Yes, I have shed a few and wish I could have kept it but just wasnt feasible with larger family and wife couldn't drive it.

    When I bought it new, I had the dealer remove all graphics and install a clock and provide 6 oil filters. People would ask me at gas stations when it was real clean if that was a new paint job? I laughed and would say no I have just taken good care of it.

    I see this all the time, not that big of a deal to me. I usually just call them an asshole.
