Default ESP/BAS Light on after 3" lift installed

I recently just had my Teraflex 3" lift installed. After completion I had to drive it a couple days without the rear sway bar links because of a stupid mishap on my part. The first night driving it home, the ESP/BAS & the light that looks like a truck that's lost control came on briefly, but went back off after a couple of key cycles. The next morning they came back on and this time have stayed on. Im wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue? If so, what needs to be done to get the issue resolved? Thanks!

I need to add that I got the links installed last night and thought that would take care of my issue because it would help with the stability but the lights have continued to stay on.

So the steering not being centered can cause that? If so, then that is the problem for sure! My steering wheel is way off centered right now. Im gonna get it aligned on Tuesday.

You can allign your wheel yourself. All you need is a 15mm wrench. On the drag link there are two 15MM nuts that you need to loosen. Once loosened you can adjust the draglink until the steering wheel is centered.

Easy Peasy

and ya, usually when lifting your jeep, the steering will come uncentered and cause traction control to flip out.
