Default Disabling ESC For Modified Vehicles

So, I added a three inch lift and 35 inch tires to my 2011 JK. Thereafter I noticed that ESC was kicking in very frequently when making turns while going down hill (on the road).

I then found this in the manual:

"Disabling ESC For Modified Vehicles (4WD
Models Only)"

"Vehicles modified with larger tires and/or suspension
lifts may experience early ESC activations as compared to
a non-modified production vehicle depending on lift
size, tire size, suspension changes and/or driving habits.
If early ESC activations are experienced while driving a
modified vehicle, the additional ability to permanently
turn off ESC is available."

"A steering wheel/ESC button
maneuver must be performed to permanently disable
ESC and defeat the functionality of the ESC switch."

So, I went through the procedure and the ESC is now disabled. Here come the questions.

1. Has anyone out there done this as well?

2. If so, have you had any problems that I should be aware of?

3. On my dash, both the ESC and the ESC off lights are illuminated at all times now--is this normal?

4. I am also getting this irritating "ding" noise when I stop--same kind of sound you get when low on fuel or there is someother deficiency. Is that normal and if so, is there a way to disable the noise?

Thanks
