To those with leveling kits

Im getting my leveling kit installed tomorrow and had a quick question. Did any of you have your headlights adjusted after getting this done? Im getting the 2 inch HBS kit installed and am wondering if I should even bother adjusting the headlights?

mine were higher to the point that it bothered people in cars in front of me at stop lights, but the rear block fixed it for me.

I haven't done it either but the manual will walk you though the process if you decide to go that route.

After I leveled mine I realized my headlights were even better. Thought they might be annoying other drivers but I never got a flash from anyone. Followed my wife home from shopping one night and she said they didn't seem overly bright so I've just left them alone. Better headlights with no issues - can't see any reason to adjust them.

I got a 2" level on my truck. The headlights could use a little adjustment. It's not too bad.

Nope. 2" AS and not adjsutment. I would imagine the shorter wheelbase trucks may seem higher though.

I never had mine adjusted, but I get car flashing me all the time... this was before I added an add-a-leaf.

I added the 1.5 AS and I leveled mine, they were up a bit compared to my brothers 05 non leveled F150 (same trim, body style). I lowered them a little, really easy to do...it's in the manual.

AS 2.5" kit. I asked the dealer to check the head lights when I was in for an oil change and they adjusted them for free. It was off some.

I took mine by a local shop after the HBS kit install and they could not find any room to adjust them. The only time I have been flashed is when towing my boat.

i put in a 2" procomp level and adjusted mine right away, very easy took about five minutes with a philips screwdriver, they were shinning about a foot or so higher on the wall then they were suposed to be according to the manual. I didn't want to give the police a reason to stop me.
