Readjusting headlights after lift....

Ok I am very tired of the numerous amounts of people flashing me for thinking I have my brights on when all I did is lift my truck! How high should the beams be on a 4wd superduty? Maybe go out...park on a flat surface 5ft away from a wall and measure for me? I would appreciate it. Oh and another thing...how do you readjust the lights on an 08? Thanks.

I have the same problem, seems like 6"s of lift with 37s puts the superduty at the exact height to blind all oncoming drivers. I know in the 05-07 superduty the head lights aren't adjustable unless you modify the assembly.

But I'm thinking about getting some HIDs for my fogs and just use those as my driving lights.

Either that or you could do what the previous owner of my truck did and get some glue and electrical tape and just have the bulb sitting in the headlight assembly angled down. *cough* he was an idiot apparently*cough*..don't do this*cough*

There is a reverse torx bit located behind the headlight which is a vertical adjustment. Your manual should cover it.
