Default Chip flash required with 2 - inch lift?

I have a dealer who claims that a JK needs to have the computer flashed allow for less aggressive correction from the traction control system. I've lurked on this forum a lot, and never saw that issue come up. Anybody ever here about the need to flash the puter to compensate for additional yaw, etc...? Any problems with the EPS after the lift?

Steering is centered. The Lift is OME HD with adj tract bars; adjustable sway bar extensions front and rear, currie adjustable control arms. I'm getting the alignment done on Monday.

Steer waaaay clear of that dealership. You do not need to flash anything with a lift! I swear, some shops just sicken me!

That's kinda what I'm thinkin. My buddy is a professional mechanic and helped me install the lift. He's convinced the ESP is to aggressive, so he posed the question to a mechanic at the dealership, hence the claim. My buddy is a fine gearhead, but he's into performance cars, not Jeeps. Unless there is something out there from other Jeepers, I am inclined to decline the offer to flash it for $80.00. Seems fine to me except for the increased flighty steering. I'll have that corrected on Monday and boy am I glad I went with the adjustable front LCAs.
