i got tired of getting flashed, especially while towing. So I doubled the recommended drop. I drop it 4" every 25ft. Helped out a lot and you still get enough distance that you can't see the cutoff on the road (works out to around 225 feet of distance before the cutoff will reach the road). Plus that way the hot spot is just skimming the roadway, makes for better visibility.

That's exactly what my buddy says to me when I follow him. He's in a jeep with a 3.5" lift and 35s and it still bothers him..

I was getting flashed when I first bought my truck.
I lowered them down a couple inches and nobody has flashed me in over a year now.

Now if someone could figure out an easy fix, for the high beam shield to stop flickering occasionally...that would be a welcomed fix.
