Default Platinum queation

My Local Ford dealer said it I do a 4 inch BDS lift on my 2018 F-150 Platinum, there is a good chance if will cause the lane keep, parking and cross traffic sensors to fail. He said because the systems aren’t calibrated for the extra height. A local 4X4 shop says it won’t impact any systems on the truck.

Anyone loose any of their system due to a lift?

It could cause an issue. The systems can be recalibrated if needed.

A friend of mine has a 6” lift on his F-250 and it doesn’t have any issues.

Anytime the vehicle's attitude or ride height is changed, several systems can be impacted:
  • Lane Keeping - IPMA
  • Active Park Assist
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • 360 Degree Cameras - IPMB
Some will swear these systems aren't affected, but the reality is they are and their accuracy may be compromised. However, each system can and should be recalibrated

Does your truck have aftermarket fender flares? I’ve heard that some installers don’t make adjustments for them to be still used with aftermarket fender flares. The ones right in front of the front doors.
