so, I get flashed by oncoming traffic after my 4" lift. But, its not because my headlights are not aimed, its all the chicks raising their shirts because my truck looks so much better.

No really... it could be the headlights, but I'm going to keep believing the first statement.

we should all be so lucky, but you might want to adjust your headlights just the same.

Yeah, I just watched a video on how to do it. So simple. I just need to wait for darkness now to work on it.

I adjusted them about one full ratchet turn lower, but I have no idea how far that moves them. Any suggestions?

It's best to follow the night time adjustment process. I've adjusted mine; I don't get flashed; but I think I'm a little bit conservative on where I put the cutoff.

Adjust them to where you think, drive down the road at night and find a parked average height car (civic, carolla, camry etc etc) point your truck at there car from about the distance your lights should reach (dont be a idiot here and say my lights should reach 10,000 feet away) and now see where your cut off is. is it inside there vehicle? then its still to high, if its down at the tires then raise it up. Ideal for you and courtesy of other people is your cutoff will be right underneath there side mirros. Simply bring the tool with you so you can andjust it right there pointed at the car.

This worked for my 2015 1500. There are two holes with arrows, mine was in the other hole than what this video shows. Shine a flashlight down in the holes and you'll see the adjuster.

Convert, for now.
Engine
small
Truck looks good. I know hindsight, but I parked on a line, checked mine on the wall before lift was done, and after lift, parked same spot and adjusted. Just do one rotation down, drive, see if still flashed and repeat.
