Headlight readjustment after leveling kit?

I've read a lot of post discussing the leveling kits, but can't say I recall any mention of resetting the headlight height adjustment post installation. I had someone flash their brights at me for the first time yesterday morning since installing a 2" autosprings kit.<O</O

<O</O
Do the headlights need to be readjusted? Is it easy/hard? <O</O

They will need readjusted. It tells you how in the owners manual.

The new ones are very easy. There is only one adjustment. Vertical. A 4mm wrench and you can be done in a couple of minutes.

I have had the 2inch Autospring installed for over two months and have only been "Flashed" once for my headlights. I see no need to adjust the height of the headlights.
