I’ve put a 3.5” lift on my 2020 1500 Bighorn and after trying to adjust my headlights down I’ve ran out of downward adjustment. I feel my lights are still to high and blinding people. Is there something I can do to get more adjustment out of the headlights? I feel they need to go down another 2”. Headlights are 43” off the ground.
 
Did you actually measure the height of the lights?
Ona flat surface, drive the truck right up against a wall and mark the center of the beam on the wall. Then back up your truck about 15 feet. The center of the beam should now be below the previous mark. If it is, you are probably OK.
 
I will try that tonight. I measured to the demple on the headlights and marked that same measurement on the wall and one side was above that mark but has no more adjustment
 
The DOT standard for headlight alignment states that “a vehicle's headlights must be at 25 feet away 2.5 inches below the given height of the headlight.”
The initial reference height is from center of the headlight, not the beam.
