Apologies as this has probably been asked many times before, but my search didn’t find it:

Just had my 22 Lariat ER leveled (2” ReadyLift pucks) and forgot to measure beam height before install.

IIRC you measure at 15’ away on a level surface, but what should I be shooting for?

TIA

Measure from the center of the projector to the ground. Take that measurement and subtract 2 inches. At 25 feet, put a piece of tape on a wall at the height you calculated. Make sure the ground is level. Adjust the beam to the tape.

With a level, you may need to adjust it down a tad. Just pay attention to where your beams are on other vehicles. And if somebody flashes you, it's obviously too high.
