Shocks in Front

[viperred]

How many have had to lower their lights in the front after installing new front shocks. It put the lights back on the road, and out of the trees Ha!.:spyder2:

Elka shocks raise the front about 2", so the headlights must be adjusted lower. Before changing shocks aim the headlights at a wall or garage door and mark where the lights shine. Then after installing new shocks with the same distance away from the wall or door adjust the lights to the same spot.
