Water splashing onto windshield

Water splashing onto windshield
We have on 09 F150, that when we run into a big water puddle, water splashes onto the windshield from the fender wells, so much we have to turn on the wipers, because we can't see for a moment, this happens in deep snow also, about 3inches or more. Is there a way to fix this problem?? I tried a search, and found nothing on this. Thanks in advance for your help and thoughts on this issue!

Second suggestion, do you by chance have aggressive tires on aftermarket wheels with a negative offset? Could be throwing it some, but shouldn't be tossing it that high. Against the body if anything at that rate of speed.

Every F150 I've had since 1997 has done this... Once you know it's going to happen, you anticipate and either slow down or try to avoid the deep water... If those aren't options, be ready to drive blind for a few seconds... My '12 with 2" level doesn't seem to be as bad about this though... So maybe raising the front end with a leveling kit is a solution.

I have found that the water comes up over the front of the bumper (splashing from the tires) when you hit big puddles.
And this is with a stock wheel/tire setup.
Luckily mine also came with a stock set of windshield wipers and a stock handy-dandy wiper switch right by the steering wheel so I just utilize that!
