Default 4" lift and ESP issues

Ok I installed 4" lift ( stock 16" tires with BFG mud tires ) for 2 weeks after the lift no ESP issues at all ( believe me I tried to set it off) now all of a sudden after about 1K miles later I now have the ESP going off during freeway on/off ramps. What could be causing this ?
steering wheel is still centered, nothing has really changed except one of the rear tires may have a bit more wear than the other ( moved front to back and one was wearing funny, its rounded out nicely now but may have lost a bit of tread depth in the process)

Only during on/off ramps and more so at lower/moderate speeds


Any Ideas ?





Thanks,
Goblin

After my lift had settled in , got the same thing. Put frt lower adj arms on and I really have to push it to get the ESP to kick in. The more your suspension is dialed in , the less probs you'll have.
