Anyone else get flashed constantly for your headlight?

Anyone else get flashed by other cars or trucks for your headlight?
This is starting to **** me off. I went a couple miles at night and had 5 people flash me for having my high beams on, which I didn't! So I hit them back. And some of these idiots flash me even after they see my high beams and I turn them to low. I turned off the little driving lights but it still happened.Aggravating. I don't want to start messing with the adjustment but it's getting old.

Not once. But I have a DRW 350 with a decent stock forward rake. I've seen some of the F-250s that have little or no forward slope to them so I could understand how the lights could potentially blind sedans.

It has happened to me a few times and just happened just last night at a stop light. Truck still has significant amount of rake so I don't know what the problem is (It's always little cars). It is funny though to flash back at them and see the high beams light up their faces for a moment.

I pulled our camper which pretty much makes the truck level. We decided to head home early and ended up driving into dark. I got "flashed" with bright lights so many times I lost count. Then a rollback passes me and gets in my lane and kicked his eye melting rear facing work lights on. At that point I lost my cool and kicked the high beams on and left them on for his pleasure. I swear I thought a UFO had landed it was so bright, he could have caused a wreck pulling that stupid crap.

I hammered down and left my brights on, I was hot, my wife told me to chill out but I was too pissed, whatever lights he had on that rollback he sure got his money's worth, it was like a weld flash!

Probably worth lowering your lights a bit! If you are blinding people you should fix it. Ford might do it for you?

I'm gonna try to stop at the ford dealer this week and ask them. Maybe they have a guide they go by to put them in spec. I don't need the aggravation. It's a brand new truck you would think they would have that figured out.

Mind you I have an XL, but I wonder if it is because all four bulbs are lit up on low beam. People just assume it is on high. However when I was towing, and the rear of my truck was a little saggy, other drivers were hitting me with their brights non stop.
