Parksense front sensor trouble

So my front sensors on my '20 2500 Laramie are sounding an alarm that I am going to hit something when I go in reverse. It happens when I get to about 5mph. I just leveled my truck 2" and was wondering if that may be causing it? I don't think this happened at the exact time I leveled it though, pretty sure it started about a week later. Could the increased height in the front cause an issue with the front sensors? They are clean so that's not the problem and it also only happens when driving in reverse and it's the front sensors only, not the rear sensors. Has anyone else had this issue?

When you say they are "Going Off", do you mean they are becoming inoperable and shut off or that they are sounding out a warning, as if something was being sensed near them?

I should have explained this better, lol. It is sounding the alarm, beeping as if I'm going to hit something. I will edit my post to say this.

Mine seem to sound off frequently when driving down the street in inclement weather. I doubt yours is going off because of your leveling. I can't see how that would have changed anything

Yeah, I've had them go off in bad weather also but that's not the case anymore. Today was 61 and sunny

The two front outboard park sensors face towards objects on the side of the vehicle. Could there be something on either side of the truck that you are passing that they might not have picked up before, and the increased height put it in range of the sensors. The idea is to let you know of something on the front sides while in reverse to where if you were to cut the wheel while backing up, the front might strike the object.

No, it does it in wide open spaces, nothing near me at all.
