headlight angle?

After raising the front end of my 2005 XLT with a 2.5" Hell Bent Steel Level Kit, I've noticed the headlights are angled up a bit too much. What is the proper/best way to get the angle of the headlights readjusted?

Park your truck on a level surface, 25 ft from a straight wall. Measure from the ground to the center of your headlight (there should be a small cross etched in the lens), take that measurement and draw (or mark) a line across the wall at that height minus 1/2-2/3 the change in height you added to the truck.

That should angle them down enough but still not have them pointing straight into the ground.
