I found this on the forum.
Is this a good way to get into the ballpark again?
Or did someone find a better method?

It is thr "B" measurement that Is in question.
Is it relative after a 2.5" lift??

The B number is still relevant after a lift, as this is the value that will determining if you are blinding oncoming traffic or not. I’ve found that you can often run the headlights a tad higher than what is recommended, but if you are getting oncoming traffic flashing their brights at you, you’ve gone too far.

I marked a specific distance back from my garage door and put a pece of tape on the door where the cut off line is at when my tire was on the mark. Then i did my level/lift and drove around a little to settle the suspension and then parked on that mark again. Turned on the lights and adjusted them the same cut off line height as the tape amd no flashes from anyone since the lift.
