Its been almost 16 days owning the Overtrail and have noticed that the headlights aim to the floor in very short distances.
I was wondering if any of you have measured how high? should they aim? like if i park the car 20 ft away from the wall.. how high should the headlight beam reflect on the wall.
 
I adjusted mine downward a while ago. I parked with the headlights 20 feet from a vertical wall and I marked 44" on the wall with some tape. The driver's side headlight is set a bit lower than the passenger side from the factory and I kept mine that way. I assume the driver's side is a bit lower to account for oncoming traffic approaching on the driver's side in this country. I adjusted mine to about 42" above ground level and they are still too high - people still occasionally flashed their brights at me. I need to lower them another inch or two.

Adjusted mine based on this post, ballpark 40in but I also have larger tires/lift. If you don’t then likely a bit lower.

20 feet okay.
Cause I did q measurement at around 12 feet and the lowest one was at 31 inches and the other at 33. So 44in for real? Maybe i have too much Rake.
