I think there's a write up on adjusting your lights on the Project-jk website. That should help you.

If you lifted the vehicle evenly then your lights would not require adjustment. Maybe you need some spacers in the back?

We always adjusted our headlights after a lift because of this very problem. Your lights are aimed to not be in other drivers faces and now that's up higher they will be just get them adjusted a little to correct this.

Your headlights are pretty easy to adjust. There are 2 screws behind the lights(under hood). The upper screw is for up/down adjustment and the lower screw(side) is for left/right adjustment.

So if you lift 1 foot evenly, the lights will still be pointing the same way as before?

I have a 2010, the only adjustment on my headlights are up and down. When I installed my trucklites, I had to get creative in order to adjust them side to side.

To adjust the height of the beam, you need a torx driver (I don't remember what size). On the driver's side the screw will be on the upper right of the lense. On the passenger's side, it will be on the upper left of the lense. Real easy to do.

I've had people flash me too. The first time I ignore it. The second time I turn on my brights briefly to show them what the brights REALLY look like.

Same here!

I find more people just get out of my way. Win-win.
