Did you use the Procal? I had the on/off ramp issue constantly until I bought the procal. My ESP was back to normal after.

If centered properly, in my case, the steering wheel slopes to the left with the wheels straight.

I have the procal. But maybe I did it incorrectly. I am not following what your jeep is doing?

If u don't mind wrenching for 10 minutes, here is what it took to dial in my ESP.

Here is a good place to start checking things on your Jeep. I had this issue too, but went after doing all this and using the AEV procal. Good luck!!

Hey there guys, I think everyone who has lifted their JK has run into this issue at one time or another. The sensor are extrememly sensitive and the best way to resolve it is to center your steering wheel. Call the manufacturer if you are still having issues as something must be being missed. Did you make sure all is very tight underneath? I didn't takee note but how old is your JK? How many miles? Make sure there are no worn suspension/steering components if it had mileage before the lift. Any play, especially tracbar, could cause this.
Send a message to WOL on the forum he can add more info and point yo uin the right direction. I would do all that before purchasing arms or any other parts fro that matter.

Straight is relative. That is the location that the CPU thinks its properly tracking.

I did the project jk steps to straighten my wheel after the lift. I got it dead nuts straight but my ESP would come on every morning during my commute. It got real old when triaxles are barreling down on you because you're going 25mph around a ramp so the ESP doesn't come on.

After the procal and this setup, I could take ramps just like stock.

With the procal in the obd port, you adjust the draglink. The parking lights will tell you which way it needs adjusted. U turn the draglink until the highbeams come on. That is the position that the CPU believes is straight.
