2010 Ford ranger With stabilitrak lift?
Hello all! I have a 2010 Ford ranger XLT and want to lift it, but suspension lifts really work with it, because of stabilitrak. how can I get around the stabilitrak and lift my truck?? could I install a body lift instead of suspension??
thanks for the help I really appreciate it!!

Ok awesome! hey so I just took out my ABS shouldn't that now completely shut off my stabilitrak and allow me to use a suspension lift??
It's a really a "do so at your own risk" scenario.

You can bolt the suspension lift on all day long and it will work fine. The problem is that the front wheel speed sensors won't work with the suspension lift spindles/steering knuckles, so the sensors will not be getting a reading from the rotor since they aren't attached. This will cause issues with both the ABS and Traction Control systems. I remember a few guys were having "throttle down" issues related to the traction control system not getting a proper reading. I think this was still happening even after pulling the appropriate fuses.
It's a really a "do so at your own risk" scenario.

I can't really tell you exactly what will happen since I haven't personally lifted a Stabilitrak equipped Ranger. But I know it isn't as easy as just pulling the ABS fuse. I've known a couple guys who have lifted 2010-2011 Rangers, and they never were able to fully "fix" the issues that the suspension lift kits brought on. Your best bet is the body lift, since that should only affect the yaw (pitch) sensors.

I did a suspension lift on my 2010, well 3in lift blocks in rear and basically a pre-key mod..... I then added a body lift on top of that....no issues! What I will tell u is this, the truck will look goofy as hell wif u don’t widen that stance either with new wheels or dare I say wheel spacers?. Which brings up even more debate, here’s my take on it......If u decide on spacers fine, go with a quality spacer (b.o.r.a) gonna cost U, then use loctite when installing...If u do this and check them periodically u will be fine......40k plus no issues....Btw. Currently in process of replacing upper and lower ball joints...as well as bushings and tie rods.......Balljoints are original and are a known issue on these Trks, @127k now so it’s time, tie rods are just a since I’m doing it thing....I might add for the none believers out there and NO I haven’t had issues with cv axles and bearings.......NONE!!!!!
the next part is just finding someone who will install a body lift or a suspension lift on my truck!

I think the computer was reducing engine power randomly, but don't quote me on that.

yeah mine are because some jackass decided instead of fixing the parking brake they should just remove it. Had to pay for it to get fixed. Yeah ive noticed on mine, every now and then when the engine is cold and i just turn out of my driveway the engine almost goes into neutral but i can rev it. Then after like 5 seconds the truck jolts forward and im fine.
