Hey There, i am going to add a 2" lift to the front of my 2014 F150 Ext. Cab and it will throw off the Headlamps. My question is, Is it difficult to adjust the headlamp beam ?...In the old days it was just a few screws, but wanted to find out if there was any issues or tricks with my new truck.

 

It's simpler than all get out on these trucks. It's one screw...... up and down only, that's it. If you are happy with the lights as is you can just mark where they are on a door from a flat surface (supposed to be done at 25') and then just adjust them down to match where they were before after the lift is on.

 

The procedure to align the headlights is detailed in the owner's manual. *Beginning on page 250 - ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS

(owner's manual) Don't have one -OR- would like a digital, searchable desktop document?------------------------------

Thanks alot for the info. on adjusting the headlights, all the information was helpful...My Black 2014 F150 XLT Ext. Cab goes into the shop on monday for a 2"lift, and Dune 524 20" wheels, i'm selling my stock chrome 18" wheels and Goodyear tires with 10,000 miles on them, and going with Goodyear Duratraks...Hope it all works out, i'll keep you posted and get a pic.

 

Does putting in the lift kit void the warranty??And adding bigger tires?

 

Here’s what the dealer told me, he said, most people do think that adding after-market parts will void a new vehicle’s warranty. But it’s not true at all, but if an after-market part causes an issue or problem then per that problem it won’t be covered under warranty. He said it’s against federal law to void a warranty because someone uses an after-market part.
I also found this blurb below about the MMW act.

The Magnuson Moss-Warranty Act
The Magnuson-Moss warranty act is a federal law enacted in 1975 that makes it illegal for auto manufacturers (or any manufacturer of consumer products, for that matter) to void a warranty simply because the owner of the vehicle adds an after-market product to a vehicle. The law states that manufacturers have to repair a vehicle problem UNLESS they can prove the problem was caused by an after-market part.

 

I recommend you get your TCM adjusted to the new tire size. Besides your speedometer being off, the new tires can compound problems with shifting like harsh downshifts, etc
See Tire Size Calculator - Compare Tire Sizes

 

FWIW i just about have my headlight adjustment maxed out (downwards) with the Bilstein 5100's leveling the front. I suspect they (bilsteins) are at max setting, though.

 

I'm looking for a decent tcm adjustment tool to use to reconfigure my Truck for the bigger tires i added, and it would be great if the tool could do more than just the TCM adjustment...anyone used anything that may help.
