?Lifted 3rd gen blind spots?

I have a 6" superlift kit on my truck. I have a bad blind spot by the passenger front tire. I have had two people, both very small cars, get too close when they were merging into my lane and hit the corner of my bumper. I couldn't see their window unless I was REALLY looking for them. Why do small cars get brave and cut off big trucks and big rigs? Happens all the time. The first time it happened the guy was so close, I didn't feel any impact at all. It was in heavy stop and go traffic. It felt as if I was stuck on a curb. I was wondering what was with my truck until I heard someone laying on the horn. Guy must have been scared seeing that big grill pushing his car.

Last week it happend again. Some lady was did the same thing when she was merging in my lane, but this time I was at a slight incline making visability worse. The lady keeps saying I hit her. I wish there was a sensor I can install.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
