Thanks I was thinking the same thing. I didn’t think about the stress. They said they would do a wheel alignment didn’t think about the headlight, is that an easy adjustment for them?

 

I haven't had to align headlights in years but you can ask the alignment guys what they do. There is also a method of pulling up to a plain wall 20-25' or so and aim them but I don't have a reliable distance or height to adjust your lights and some of the adjustments screws are hard to get to. Try YouTube and see if there are any vids on this.

 

In all honesty I was thinking about switching to hid or led bulbs anyways so maybe I’ll just do it all at the same time at the same shop... save on labor

 

Aiming headlights is easy on these trucks since there isnt any horizontal adjustment. Only vertical. Before I had my front 5100s installed I parked the truck in the driveway about 20 feet from the garage door. Put a piece of blue tape on the garage door and marked the center of the hot spot of each headlight. Took some chalk and marked where I was parked in the driveway. Then I just measured the stock height of the front fender. When I got the truck back from the installer, parked in the same spot, remeasured the front fender. Had about 2-1/4" increase in height. So I went to the garage door and made a mark 2" higher than the stock height. Used a drill with a long screw bit and moved each beam. I havent been flashed after a couple weeks and I drive in the dark every day.

 

Thanks! I just talked to the installer and they said they will do headlight alignment as well, basically said they do a lot of levels and it’s a total package

 

This is my 2016 FX4 with 2" RC leveling spacers. Factory 20x8.5 with +44 offset wheels. Tires are Toyo Open Country AT2 Extreme 295x60x20. No trimming & no rubbing.

 

Same truck with same tires. Swapped struts and shocks to Rancho QuickLifts and switched to Fuel Trophy wheels (20x9 with +1 mm offset). I'm replacing the Ranchos with the Bilstein 5100's tomorrow. I may also add a block to the rear.

 

They are 20s

 

What's wrong with the Rancho's?

 

Nothing wrong with the Ranchos. I like them. Just checking out different options.
