anti skid after lift
Ok.. so somebody explain the abs coming on during a right hand turn on an off ramp after I put the new springs with only about 1" of lift. I've done some reading and others have talked about it but it makes no sense to me. i was on research park blvd heading north and exiting to university west.. twice my ABS has coming acting like i'm in a skid. I have only been able to replicate it during a right hand, downhill turn though. I didn't pull the wires, i'm not throwing a code of any sort, I can't figure out what mechanically would cause the anti skid to think anything is going on anyway. Maybe someone smarter can explain that to me.. that way when I really put a serious lift on it I'll know what is going on.

ESP and Steering Wheels
Thats an easy fix... the lift causes your steering wheel to not be straight anymore, so your jeep thinks its turning more to the right then it really is... all you have to do is adjust the draglink to straighten the steering wheel and it will fix the problem... I think it is a 15mm, loosen both bolt and rotate the knuckle to straighten the wheel.
Edit - Yup, here's the post:
And with JK-Rubi's help, did the following:
Rear swaybar links
Rear trackbar
Front trackbar
JKS disconnects
ESP went crazy after trackbars were installed. But after making a steering wheel adjustment, works perfect. Also, after my lift but before trackbars, ESP kicked in whenever I went down an exit ramp with a sharp curve. Today, I took the same curve that always gave my ESP fits before and it didn't kick in once.

Justin, Gary is poking fun at the RC 2.5" Prog. Coil lift problem. The coils in the rear begin to sag and cause a weird response in the steering when going over bumps. That is what mind look like as well... talked to RC and a new set is being shipped next week.
