Just keep working on that draglink. Your gonna have to drive it after you adjust to make sure it's centered. Also check to see if they properly secured all your brakelines and your not getting any rubbing issues on any of your lines.

Had the same problem after I did my lift. After you get it centered it will take a few times starting your JK before the light turns off.

Did your cruise control quit working as well? Losing the cruise as well has me really confused. I would think they were seperate systems so they should work independantly. I appreciate all the good advice guys and I'll keep working that drag link til the traction control light goes out but man losing the cruise has me pretty concerned (I use the heck out of cruise control LOL)

It's more than likely connected. I can understand and see how it would be a safety feature for sure. After you get that steering wheel centered and drive it around it should fix it. Try cruise control then. Eliminating that step will give you a lot more info. And it's free. No aggravating trip to the stealership.

I hear ya. I can't stand going to the dealer. I'll take y'alls advice and keep tinkering with it. Will go to dealer as a last resort. Heck the only reason I had someone install the lift for me is the dealer told me that if I installed it myself it would void my warranty.

It's a safety reason your cruise doesn't work. So in the case you hydroplane and cruise is on it will kill it ect.

Traction control and cruise control ARE connected, fix traction control and the cruise will come back . At least it has for me in the past
