Default 4 inch lift 37 inch tires...Now ABS kicking in under normal breaking (pics)

Okay, so just finished the install of my Rancho 4" and 37" tires and had everything aligned. After testing I noticed that the ABS wants to kick in during normal to above normal breaking. Basically everything except the lightest breaking. Is this just a matter of needing to calibrate the ecu for the larger tires or whats the trick here guys? Please help! O, and pics as promised.

That sounds right because I had to drop it off today because they still needed to center the steering wheel. I will find out if that is the problem tonight and will post my findings. Thanks for the link!
