Level Quesiton

I do not know the process to adjust if you did, but if you don't squat the truck you will be fine.
The headlights are made to use the rake to keep them right when loaded.
So essentially you used the rake's position with the level.
You squat the bed and the headlights will point up.
I thought one of the headlight options may adjust automatically, but not sure.

Can vary for to what degree level your are getting. As far as the "need" to adjust the light throw, that depends. Some municipalities enforce laws requiring you to adjust beam. So there may be an actual need in your area.
If you put enough payload on her, your lights will point higher and can cause low light blind spots, and disrupt oncoming traffic. Don't be that ******* that blinds every body. These LED are no joke and can easily cause distraction to cause an incident when shining into another driver's eyes.
Just my 2 cents.

I'm not sure if the process is the same as the 4th gens but I had to adjust my 2016 1500 when i installed LED's in the low beams. There is a small adjustment screw (7mm) on the headlight housing sunken in a hole in the fender on either side. Find a level surface in front of a garage door and park the front of your truck 25 feet from the door. Measure from the ground to the middle of your headlight. Subtract 2 -2.5 inches from that and put a mark a piece of tape at that height in front of each head light. Now using the 7mm socket and extension adjust the headlights up and down to be level with those tape lines. I forget which way goes up and which way goes down.
