Default another esp issue

i no that this has been covered a million times but i cant seem to find solution. i installed a .75" and a .5" spacer stacked in front and just a .75" spacer in rear and added 33's to my jeep. prior to this i had 0 esp issues actually it never came on. i did the alignment even though my steering wheel is perferct. i even reprogrammed for the 33's. it comes on now even when i am on just slighlty curvy roads. any other solution with to do . this is about the most mild lift you can buy. im stuck. it feels like i am out of control when it kicks in.
thanks

Just turn the esp off. Really off, not just the button on the dash. Do a search, there is a description on how to do this.

is your axle centered? i thought i read somewhere that if its not it may cause esp issues. my need a drop bracket or adjustable trackbar to fix it.

That being said... there must be something more to his problem. I mean he's running 1.25" of lift and 33's. That's nothing. I'm running 2.5" BB, 2" BL, and 35's and have never had my ESP kick on a single time. There must be more to his problem
x2 We have 35's w/ a 3" and the ESP never kicks on. Even when I had just the Tera BB with the axles off-center, ours never kicked on.

What tire pressure are you running? You should be around 30 psi with 33's.

Default psi

i am running with 40 lbs . the axles seems to be centered . it should have not moved much w/ just 1.25"lift.
is there any way to disable it in an 07 model?

IMO 40 is too high. Try lowering your pressure and see what it does. Its about the easiest place to start.

And yes, you can disable your ESP with a toggle switch. There is a write-up in the write-up section. You really shouldnt have to do this though.
