Default Active Control and ABS issues after lift

Ok, just recently put my 4 inch lift on. Since installing, my active control light comes on while steering or going around any right turns. Also, when turning right and breaking, the ABS activates. (or at least what I think is the ABS) I hear a grinding type of noise and then feel a vibration in the break pedal while putting pressure on.

Anyone have similar issues or know what the problem could be? All issues are just when making right turns. Nothing to the left.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Your steering wheel isn't centered, that's the issue. Fix that and you'll solve your problem. It's fairly sensitive and thus the feedback you're hearing and feeling.

Thanks! My steering wheel does appear to need to be turned to the left a little to keep it going straight. Hopefully that'll fix the issue.

Fwiw I had the same issue after just installing my 3.5" lift. Right away steering was off and TC and ABS kicked in. Two 15mm nuts in the drag link and a couple of upward turns on the buckle till the steering wheel was straight.... boom!!! Perfect now. I drove 11 miles to the alignment shop and it felt great and never lit up my dash board once.
