Center the steering wheel

Or do the steering wheel dance and turn it off completely.

yes, you need to adjust your drag link in order to re-center your steering wheel.

another thing is to make sure you don't have too much air in your tires. with 35's, you really shouldn't be running more than about 30 psi.

Look at the sensors make sure the bolt that holds them on is tight and that they are center back to factory. After I lifted and put bigger tires on mine would do that and the problem was that one sensor was not tightened back it was loose causing it to go off
