I've got a Ground Force shackle kit ordered that lowers the rear-end appx. 2inches. Will I need to adjust my headlights down? Don't want to get bright-lighted constantly and/or have 'em shinin' in the tree tops.

 

I would. Adjusting the headlights is quite simple.

 

I didn't, I see better now!

 

I wouldnt worry about it, only time ive wanted to adjust my lights was when my front was dropped 3" coils and rear was stock

 

im dropped 3" more in the back then front and was getting flashed constantly so i adjusted mine

 

I didn't and I haven't once had anyone flash their lights at me. In fact, I'm not all that impressed with my lights stock and I always drive my fog lights on. My buddies stock 2500 with a 2" Ready lift on the front puts twice the light on the road that mine does.

 

I have the 2" Ground Force shackle drop on mine, but since I've never driven my truck at night I couldn't tell you whether a headlight adjustment would be beneficial or not........:o

 

did you take off your stock blocks off if yours was a 4x4

 

Never driven at night?

 

i too have the 2" GF shackle drop, without resetting the headlight level adjustment. i have not been flashed for "too bright" reg beams.

 

I never did set the headlights lower and haven't had any problems. I believe bluejay was right...it seems like the beams reach out further with'em raised slightly.

Here's what it made the truck look like:

Looking good!

 

I put those shackles on and then I adjusted my headlights. I found that they were adjusted wrong from the factory and the leveling kit actually put one in alignment and the other was still 2" too low. Page 88 of your owners guide has easy easy instructions.

 

I had those shackles on my 04 F150 and didn't need to adjust the headlights.
