So I got a weird one. My truck stock, the headlights were perfectly aimed. I added 300# of permanent weight in the back, and the headlights seemed like they autoadjusted just fine.

I then added new springs to the rear to bring the ride height to stock, which they did. I then did a ride height calibration in forscan lite.

Now my headlights literally point at the sky. I’m blinding everyone. I did a headlight calibration as well. I can manually adjust it, but I’m more confused what happened after the reset in forscan.

Anyone go through this?

Mine would do the same, I ended up just adjusting them down. On mine it would sometimes adjust them wrong on start up as where I park isn't level

Someone else here had this problem. Seems like there was a forgotten load in the bed, and after removing it, the lights leveled.

Curious about a manual adjustment, this is what I see in the owner's manual. Still might be a manual adjuster present with these lights.

@donkey, this headlight calibration you mentioned, is that a forscan thing?
I am having similar issues.

Yes, I reset my ride height level sensors. Also did a headlight recalibration.

Get Forscan Lite and an OBD MX+.
