Did you go through any deep puddles on your adventure? My old Jeep had the ABS light come on a lot of the times that I went into water deeper than about 6" to a foot. Reason was that the ABS sensors on the brakes got wet and would trip the light until they dried out.
Since all of the systems with lights coming on (ABS, ESP/BAS, and TCS) use the ABS (wheel speed) sensors to both sense and correct slipping, it is very possible that you just got the sensors wet. Also if the Jeep isn't acting funny other than the lights, give it some time to clear before taking it to the dealer, it's probably nothing

My Jeep did that when I had it smogged. The guy doing the test was afraid the jeep would jump off the rollers and kept his foot on the brake the whole time (apparently he doesn't know the diff between AWD and 4WD). Lights went out after driving for a short distance.

No puddles while wheeling, just dry high desert rocky terrain.
Disconnected the battery, and made sure all tires were at the same psi and nothing happened- lights still on.
Can you turn those lights off with a superchip?

You can't turn the lights off if there is still an issue tripping them.

Sorry to hear this bro. Hopefully you get a cheap and obvious fix.
When you installed your lift kit, did you make sure your axles were centered?
Did you check all of your lines? Even the ones you didn't see?
Where did the "Pop" come from, if you remember?

You asked about using a Superchip programmer. I know you didn't get any codes with the built-in diagnostics in the dash, but do you have access to a programmer to scan for codes?

I've had all those lights on for some time now. No time to get to the dealer. My front speed sensor wire on the drivers side is all tore up. Apperently the stock tire comes in contact with it in the hard curves. The rubber on the brake line is almost wore down to the metal hose. I just turn off the ESP everytime I get in it. That gets rid of the slippery road one, the rest just stay on, and the cruise control won't work with those lights on.
