I was actually going to go buy front switches for the back but this solves exactly what I wanted. Nice find….what led you to make this discovery? Did you see or hear about this somewhere?
And for anyone who needs the LEFT REAR Sensor - change the G to an H
MB3Z5A967G - Right Rear
MB3Z5A967H - Left Rear
and I found out AFTER ordering from the dealer for $171, they are available on this site for $115:

I just posted in a new/seperate thread about this same issue

Mine was snapped somewhere between the mechanic I paid to install the rear 1" shock/strut spacer (I did the 2" front myself - no issues) and buying new 35" tires...
Just ignore this guy 'pohnz1', he's already been reported. He lives on this forum to make smartazz remarks and try and belittle anyone and their comments. If you look through his posts, he's always trying to demean anyone's upgrades and always has negative comments. He's a real winner!
Ride height sensors are a super important part of the dynamic suspension and computer control - with a broken or F'd up one the suspension modes, steering modes don't work and your ride will be all F'd up.
Agreed - now that I know, I know. Yes, the trailer plug will be my next move as well. I bought the ride height sensor armor covers and will install those ASAP.
I think I tend to agree but now I am stuck replacing it at a cost of $180. Live & learn. Now that I know it's a weak spot I will be telling anyone who touches my truck beforehand and calling it out before & after any service. I have to get my front end aligned next so this will be called out...
Interestingly I just discovered that there are aftermarket guards out there just to prevent this exact same thing from happening......looks like I'll be buying a set since I never want to go through this again...
It didn't give me errors UNTIL I ran FORScan to tell the truck it's new ride height after the spacer lift and 35" tires.....that's when it checked itself and realized something was FUBAR. I might have driven on it broken forever not knowing. When you run FORScan and try the VDM ride height it...
I just got back from putting the Ranger Raptor through some serious off roading, rock crawling, hill climbs, Baja courses at high speed - in Utah at Wheelhouse with their trucks. Those trucks took a beating in 100 degree weather and not a one out of the 20 had any kind of issue. My truck has...
The ball thingy snapped off the plastic arm, so not only is the ball part plastic but so is the arm that it broke off of.
I’m just scratching my head on HOW it broke. There’s not a mark on anything….its just broke. I wish I knew who to blame it on and how the F they did it.
