Cool 2015 LED headlight adjustment after lift

Hi my name is Zac. I'm new here.

Is anyone else having issue with the LED headlights on the 2015s shining way too high after lifting the front of the truck? I did the 2.25" ready lift leveling kit in the front, but nothing to the rear so the rake wasn't so extreme.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I'm guessing that this is a troll post by the OP ... but I had to ask the question anyway.

LMAO... I lifted the front 2.25"... And besides that, I clearly forgot my coffee this morning when posting lol.

How do I adjust these headlights?

ok, so for real ... if you did a front level, and left the rear alone, then of course your lights are going to be angled a little higher than when the truck was stock.

I don't know what the procedure is for the 2015's, but on my 2014 there is a screw on top of each headlight when you open the hood. You set your truck back where the face of the headlights is about 25' away from a straight, flat wall ... and you adjust the headlight angles w/ the screws until the cut-off line (top of the light beam) is at whatever the proper height is supposed to be at 25' away (I can't recall what that height is).

When I leveled my truck, I did the adjustments on mine ... it was pretty easy to be honest ...

I would imagine that the 2015's have a very similar procedure, and the aiming point/angle should most likely be the same as always (again, whatever that is, I can't remember).

I'll go out in a bit and see if these LED headlights are set up the same way. If I'm having trouble, I'll post again and include pic(s). Thanks!

Look at page 312 for the location of the head light adjustment.

Exclamation

The procedure to adjust the headlamps is in the owner's manual.

(owner's manual) Don't have one -OR- would like a digital, searchable desktop document?
