Default Esp/bas

OK I am sure there is a thread on this but I could not find with my ADD acting up. I lifted 4" and put on the 35's, set the track and had Lex Brodies do the alignment. I am getting the the tire pressure light (heard that is very normal) and the BAS/ESP What the heck???? everything is tight and strait. any ideas??
tnx

How much psi are you running and even though you got an alignment, did you check to see if your steering wheel IS centered? Also, what is your caster set at? Too much air can cause flightliness and that will cause your ESP to trigger. Likewise, too little caster will cause the same thing and again, your ESP to go off.

50LBS and even though I asked to make sure Lex's guy did it, the Steering wheel is about an 1/16-1/8 turn left. I get a lot of bump steer as I am still waiting on the stab. I feel every lil bump. as far as caster how do I check?

heres how to disable if its a 08 :

The following procedure will disable ( or re-enable) ESP functionality in the vehicle.
1. Shift the transfer case into the 4H range position.
2. Turn the steering wheel until it is centered and the wheels are pointed straight ahead.
3. Cycle the ignition key OFF to ON.
4. Wait approximately five seconds for the system bulb check.
5. Turn and hold the steering wheel one-half turn to the right (clockwise).
6. Press and hold the ESP OFF button for seven seconds.
7. Turn the steering wheel back to center, and turn and hold an additional one-half turn left (counterclockwise).
8. Press and hold the ESP OFF button for seven seconds.
9. Turn the steering wheel back to center.
10. Press and hold the ESP OFF button for seven seconds.
11. Cycle the ignition key to OFF.

After performing the ESP disable procedure correctly, "ESP OFF" will be displayed in the odometer for approximately 12 seconds each time the ignition is move to ON. Repeating the ESP disable procedure will re-enable normal ESP operation."
