And yes, I have re-aimed my headlights, they just have a really poor beam pattern.
This is the worst factory lighting I have ever seen in a vehicle. I will be looking into headlight upgrades asap.

Do you have a lift on your jeep? I have 3/4" coil spacers all around, so I'm a little (yes I said little) bit higher but still have the rake effect (front lower then the back of about 1") so in my case with or without fog on, I don't blind people. I agree with you that the stock head lights are crap... I'm curious about the Vision X fog replacement kit (picture).....nobody make comments about them?!?!?

they're awesome. I was happy with the Bilstein 5100's, but I wanted more travel with much more sensitive dampening. These feel a ton smoother on harder rougher hits, especially at speed. To get max travel, I went with the 4"-6" length for my 3" lift.
