Lift ESP
I bought my JK with a 3.5 skyjacker lift already installed. While driving the ESP will kick in *mainly in curves*. Did a search and found that most are saying to straighten the wheel. Mine the wheel looks to be straight so I'm wondering what else could it be?

When I installed my lift I thought the steering wheel was straight but it took several adjustments and road trips to get it dialed in.
Check your tire pressure. I know it sounds too simple but my tires got low and the esp would kick in when making turns.

when you are saying your esp bas light comes on? or the car with squigly lines? also another question while we are on the subject i was told to turn off esp all time with a lift so i did that because on turns it will kick in or whatnot... is this true or am I able to turn esp back on?

yeah the light comes on and you can feel the brakes working on the front wheels. kinda hairy in a wet corner it'll make you checkup real quick. think i need to take it into a shop let them do a line up job see if it helps any.

You know, I was in the shop the other day and the tech told me the same thing about the cam bolts.
He obviously didn't recognize that the control arms were adjustable, even after I mentioned it to him
