Default Leveled Trucks With Traction Control Issues??

Hey I am looking at putting a leveling kit on my f-150 and was curious if any of you who have leveled your trucks have had problems with the traction control and stabilitrac kicking on at random times. This was an issue on the Tundra's due to what is called the "yaw sensor". I know there is a sacrafice with almost any modification but I don't want to do anything that has a negative affect on how this truck runs.

My truck has been leveled for over 1.5 years and no issues with TC. I think some of the 09's had issues but nothing the dealer can't fix.

NASSTY, I have seen pictures of your truck in a few different threads and it is one of my favorites so far. I have the same wheels on my white fx2 and I think I'm going to stay with those and just get new tires after my level.

Thanks That should look great when you're done with it.

After leveling and putting bigger tires on my '09 the TC/RSC will kick on in slow turns every once in a while. Dealer said they couldn't do anything about it although I know there is a TSB that has fixed the issue for others. It doesn't happen often enough for me that I haven't bothered taking it to another dealer.

I get the same thing with my 12' lariat. The answer us YES sometimes the level and tires make the traction control come on at weird times. It doesn't really bother me though it just reminds me to stop being so wild when I take a corner or gas it on a curvy on ramp...
