Default New lift now traction control probs.

Has anyone out there had this issue after installation of a lift. Just installed AEV 4.5" lift and now when I get on an on ramp or off one ( but it is the type of on and off ramp that basically make a U turn) the traction control comes on. This is the only time it does this turns around town are ok high and low speed no problems. Thanks for your help in advance.

Mine does the same thing. It won't kick in if I'm going under 30mph, so I just take the turns slower.

Yes I did center the wheel with the AEV module that came with the lift. This seems like it should not happen.

How long has your jeep been doing this?

How would you know if the axels are centered?

Had the sam problem with my 2012 after an AEV 3.5 DS. Dealer (lift friendly) told me to get it aligned and it would go away. I did just that and it worked. The sensors are that sensitive.

Paid $180 to get a lifetime alignment so i can bring it in whenever and have it done.

Was your jeep pulling either side prior to your alignment? Or was it doing anything unusual that you could tell?
