Default Traction Control confusion

Hey guys, I just installed a Teraflex 4" and 35s. I noticed on my first roadtest the traction control would kick in on acceleration and the ABS also kicks on when braking. No fault light other than the ESP light flashing when its on. Bit of a pain in the ass. I'm not new to installing lifts, but it is my first JK lift. Did I miss something dumb? Could I have damaged a wheel sensor wire. Thnx!

Ya, I installed the adjustable front track bar and recentered the steering wheel after all was done.

After a lift, typically your steering wheel needs to be off center to quiet the esp. A few degrees down toward the driver side will help. I used to always have issues but I got an aev procal to dial it in and the ESP hasnt came on since
