Raising stock height
Quick question, is it possible to shorten (or lengthen depending on the system) the connecting rods to the height sensors into fooling the system to raise the vehicle slightly?
...my wife doesn’t like the stock ride height and would like it raised up more (she’s more of a truck girl)

The button with the up arrow does what you want. No need to hack into the system, that will only make it unreliable.

You can select the raised level (3.1 inches) at speeds up to 40 mph. if the speed is above 55 mph the vehicle is lowered automatically to the highway level (0 inch).

just tell her that’s for raising the car. All she’s gotta do is raise the car when she parks it and it’ll stay raised when she gets back in it.
About three weeks of that until she realizes that normal height is actually a lot easier to get in and out of.
