That's why I have 50 percent windshield tint I'm about to go 35 percent with like a 10" banner.

Windshield tint and headlights aimed too high? Just another excuse to get pulled over. Ill keep my money and spend it on my truck not the court.

This is probably the dumbest trend out there that I've seen!

"Carolina Squat" logic:

1. Drop rear end of truck 9"
2. Get PnP HID's which blinds traffic at stock height as it is.
3. Don't aim them down to compensate for squat
4. Tint windshield as to not be blinded by other squatters who's trucks' asses are dragging the ground and headlights are un-adjusted.

Traffic? Local air traffic controllers are getting calls from pilots complaining!

Haha court? Nahh none of that. Tinted windshield helps way more than for headlight glare. You can adjust headlights for all of you who think that isnt possible. and bulb capping for fog light HIDs. Its no different than just a regular 6" lifted truck when the headlights are adjusted...

They ARE adjustable, we know, but 98% of people who do it don't adjust.

1. TOTAL DIFFERENCE WAS 9", not a 9" rear squat.
2. Only use brand name HIDs (Retro Solutions, Night Vision) no eBay junk or Amazon HIDs
3. Never said they don't aim them down... just said that my windshield is tinted for just bright lights in general.
4. Dont bash a tinted windshield til you get one.

Lets go back to geometry class.

If a truck is on a 25 degree angle like the one pictured, the lights will also be on a 25 degree angle upward. Eventually that beam will skew so high that it will blind 3rd story apartment building residents.

If a truck has a 6" lift (the proper way) and the lights are unadjusted, the beam will be straight. So no, it is NOT the same as a regular 6" lift.
