Maybe your lift put your lights above the average eye level? After the time change, 90% of my driving is at night (and I live in the country) and every other car was flashing me (with their headlights ).

Can you use your high beams? At 2" my high beams were so far up they were virtually useless. Did you install the lift yourself? If not, maybe the person or shop that installed it had the intution to adjust the lights? Maybe my trucks lights were just high to begin with.

All good possibilities... hmm. Yes, I can use my high beams and they work pretty well. Perhaps it has to do with the aftermarket headlights and they way they came adjusted...? My buddy installed everything at his shop, and he said he didn't adjust them, but told me how to do it.

If your aftermarket lights were installed after the lift, I suspect they were adjusted then. Crap IDK. Hey, if its workin for ya..roll with it. LOL.
