Aim headlights

I hadn't thought about it at first. Last few nites I got people flashing their high beams at me. Happened 3 times last night. I flashed back that I did not have my high beams on. I neglected to think about the angle of my headlights after installing lowering (leveling) springs in the back. My headlights are aimed too high now. No wonder people thought I was a rude nut! Have to adjust those down tonight

Let us know how that goes. I'm tryin to buy some cobalt SS springs to drop mine a little. I'm gonna put the rears on first and I'm sure I'd have the same problem

Yeah I noticed I can see in the back of every ones car easily now since I put on the leveling springs. The high beams go up into the trees. So far no one has flashed me but I'm sure a few rude comments have been made.

The adjustment procedure is in my manual. It's easy. You use an allen wrench, but the drivers side adjuster is kinda buried back in there. Need a socket-allen with extension to reach it cleanly (which I dont have right now). I backed them off a few turns but have not road-tested them yet.
