First Jeep, so trying to figure this out as I go. I just finished with a 2" lift and going to 35's. I still have the factory headlights.

But now when I drive at night, getting brightlighted a bunch. After the lift, do you all usually change the light alignment to lower them? Or just continue to roll with them the way they are? haha!

I’m going to watch this thread. I’ve seen 2 methods. First is 3” below level @ 25’. Second is target height @ 25’. I think it was 3’ but I can’t find it again.
For the record, I’m old school and don’t do much youtube. I prefer written standards.

1/2" per mopar, probably a good idea to go lower if you tow.

Just ask @cosine he knows!
I have a line of painters tape in my garage at my light cutoff from 20 ft away if I have any suspension changes to be made. I then just adjust the lights back to that line after the suspension changes are made.

yes, of course; as you would want everyone else you're driving toward to do.
