Has anyone run into seeing warning lights on their dash following a level? I did the suspensionmaxx 2.5 front and 1 rear and now have a bunch of warning lights on the dash.

Quick responses would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Did you do the level yourself? I had a "friend-mechanic" do mine and he said it was difficult. I'm not sure why he would say that as I have seen members here do it themselves without any problems. I am wondering if he did not listen to me when I asked him to watch the videos on their site. He made mention that he had to stand on a long pry bar just to get the strut back in. That made no sense to me if he did it correctly.

my guess is you need to adjust the height sensors or add longer rods so it thinks it's still where it should be, you probably need one of the newer scan tools to do it yourself and god knows how much one of those cost, even the older tech2 knockoffs are still $300

I did just the 1.5” from suspension maxx on my wifes rig. All turned out well. No lights, no issues, drives like factory. Did you use the rod relocating brackets?

And yes (to the response above), i had my 8 year old boy helping me when i needed someone to stand on my 8’ long pry bar to gain the necessary room to get the spacers in.

I had a shop do the install.
