I have 33" Trail Grapplers on 17" stock wheels and 2.5" lift. When I take corners too fast the same thing happens to me.

Usually tells me that I was probably going too fast.

I dont have proof yet but my suspicion is that your front.axle is not centered. Couple of things to check. First see if your axle is centered. Mine is about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch off to passenger side. Second, see if it does it on right, left or both turns. Mine is right only. I'm hoping to get a new trackbar in a month or two so when i replace i'll let you know. Wish i had a solid answer but not yet. Mine goes off ever day, same spot on my drive to work.

Do an alignment - you are out....

I run 35" Trails on 17" procomps on a 4" lift and can take curves and ramps above posted speed with no problem.

Get your alignment sorted out and you'll be fine....

I wouldn't think that 1/4" is anything to buy a new track bar over unless you just want to increase your castor. I'm running 34's with an adjustable track bar and am off by about that much at 5.1 degrees, but have no cornering or warning light issues. I would be probably look to get an alignment and see where you are at that point.

Alignment and steering centering have done nothing to help. I've had my JK aligned every 3k miles since my lift which was 15k miles ago. Also centered my steering wheel 3 xs in there. something else is triggering it, just not sure what yet.

Not having issues with 285/70r17, can corner sharp very stable. 30mph is a bit high.
