Hi guys, whit 500-600 pounds of load only, my truck squats and the low beams aim for the sky. Other then pulling out a screw driver and adjusting them manually, is there another way to bring the headlights down? When I first start up the truck, they cycle left/right and up/down, so it looks like there is range. There just isn't a way to easily dip them down a bit. Maybe Forescan?

Thank you in advance,

Ivo

Same issue here even when loaded with people at the back.
I've adjusted them down 1.5 turn by the screw (Clockwise) and still aiming very high and blinding people

I have the 1.5” rpg level done. In the mornings and ride home work (Idaho. Dark af) I see the headlights auto level and never have any problems. ‍♂️.

What do you mean…”auto level?” Also, do you know how to use screw driver to adjust the lights?

Use the adjustment screw on top of the headlight housing under the hood. It’s a No.2 Phillips head. Just count your number of turns up or down and they’ll retain the factory position, just higher or lower.

I have 1.5 front collars and with about 400lbs in the bed you feel like you’re high beaming everyone.

What I want to know is if our headlights are self leveling, I've seen them in action and haven't had the chance to pull my camper yet to fully test, it seems that they aren't self leveling for everyone. Does it use just the front level since back loads seem to be the common occurrence that causes the aim to be high?
