Stability Control Turn Off?

Now let me get this straight. I pay all this money for a 2014 Super Duty with big power and big brother a la computer will not let me use that power to get the truck sideways in the snow or dirt because of traction control and stability control! I do realize the reasoning and it does have it's benefits but I thought that part of driving was to be able to have a little fun now and then!? I bought the truck I want to be able to drive it as I please.
I know the traction control can be turned off but can the stability contol be turned off manually?

I semi jumped the gun as i found some of the info. in the owners manual. It looks like you still can't fully disable it at speeds above 35 mph it just works in a less intrusive mode. Thanks for the info. Maybe I can have fun again after all! My 2002 F350 CC with the V10 (that I just traded in) was a blast when sideways on the gas!

Doggone NANNY controls, I about wrecked a rental Exploder awhile back, when the traction control cut the power as I got'er sideways on a gravel road...aarrrrggghhh
Thankfully, only the Lexi has a Nanny control on the speed.
