Spindle Lifted 2011 XL 2.3 and THERE GOES STABILITRAK :(

[Richard1316]

Alright, so I lifted my 2011 XL 2.3 2WD with 4" spindles and when I get home today I'm installing 3" blocks on the back...
Unfortunately, I bought my wolf spindles from a 3rd party for a cheaper rate then the Wolf website and they said nothing about the whole Stabilitrak issue...

SURPRISE

Unfortunately now, the deed is done!
I took it out for a test drive last night after completing the install on the front end and at first it pretty much just limped with throttle down issues.
After it registered the ABS codes for both speed sensors, (c1296 for one side, and I can't remember the code for the other sensor but it's the same thing) it ended up riding just fine (I turned traction control off also)
Unfortunately, the ABS codes are still there and of course, I don't have traction control (not very concerned about not having it)

I've read forum after forum without any luck on a good solution. Does anyone have any information on this topic?
I've thought about possibly grinding down some of the cast iron on the spidle so that I can mount the sensor a little closer for a better reading.
Not sure if that would work either though...

If your wondering why I did this, it was actually because a spindle ended up getting pretty boogered up and it was cheaper to buy the entire lift then to get an OEM replacement spindle.
Unfortunately was not able to find any at the junkyard, so I figured why not just lift the damn thing..

On the bright side... It looks great! lol

Any information would be very, very much appreciated!

Thank you!

Doetsch has a spindle specific to the 10-11' models, AFAIK, those are the only spindles that will work with our trucks and not make anything freak out.

They're currently not manufacturing due to the covid, but should start up again in August.

Buy an entire wiring harness top to bottom and computer from a 2009.... that should fix it.

Man... I spent probably like 3 grand on that truck within a couple of months and then got rear ended by an illegal on the highway at a dead stop while he was going like 70 mph and completely totalled my truck. No insurance of course lol for the time being, I was driving with the abs light on and really didnt even notice it. The plan was to take the sensor and mount it to the opposite side of the spindle and use a washer / or grind as needed to get the proper spacing for the sensor. Unfortunately I never got to finish the job
