Default Headlight adjustment

Getting ready to install the DK lift kit. My headlight is to low as it is and I've got it adjusted as high as it will go.

I've read here where some are shimming the headlight to aim higher...

Ok, how you all doing this?

2014 TG

Thanks in advance

don't know what year yours is but on my 2014 there are 3 adjustmet screws,
12 o'clock 3 o'clock & 9 o'clock.


the screw at 12 o'clock was screwed all the way in with no spring between the ring & back plate, I adjusted the screws at 3 & 9 o;clock out 1-1/2 turns and that raised mine up. you have to take your hand and pull out on the bottom of the lamp assm. to raise the beam up as the top screw holds the mounting ring tight and it needs to bend a bit as just backing the screws out the springs don't have enough force to bend the top tab
