Ive had my 3" FT installed for a about a month now and I could not be happier. I have it dialed in and took it to an alignment to check the alignment and make sure the steering wheel in dead on center. it was all good. but that damn light and traction control thing is driving me nuts. I really want to fix this and I can not stand my dealer, thats another story. I have searched and tried the turn the wheel and hold the switch for 7 seconds thing with no success. any advice? The funny thing about the traction control is that it comes on, on ramps when slowing down but when I gas it and the front end lifts a little it turns off. Its actually making me drive faster. I dont drive fast normally, I cut my teeth on an old CJ-7, and believe me when you drove that thing you better be at 10 and 2 at all times..LOL

what psi are you running in your tires? with 35's, you should be running at about 28psi. anymore than that and you will have esp issues. also, what do you have your caster set at? you should try to have it at about +6° and this will help out a lot. the only other thing i can recommend is to keep on driving on areas where it goes off. the esp/bas system has the capacity to learn and i have seen them eventually get desensitize to certain conditions it comes across on a regular basis.

I only have esp issues on tight cloverleafs, had it with the BB and 35's but didn't have it with bb and stock tires. Have it now with the 4in SL. I just went a head and did the toggle switch mod so when I am fixing to go on an on-ramp, I just hit the toggle and can take it like normal. Air pressure in the tires definatly makes a difference . I run 28psi in front and 25psi in rear.
