Default ESP/BAS and Car with swerve marks went on.

Yesterday I was driving and some a$$hole slammed his breaks for no reason, so I hit mine. In the midst of this BS my ESP/BAS and Car with swerve lights came on and stayed on for for a few miles until I parked and shut the Jeep off. When I went to go home I turned the Jeep on and the lights were back, but for like a minute of driving, then they went off and have not come back. Anything to worry about?? I have a 3.5 lift, 35's, and 5.10's if that helps. Thanks a lot for any advice!

How long have you had the lift installed?
Is this the first time all the lights came on since the lift was installed?
Did you recenter the axle and the steering wheel after the lift?
The steering wheel has to be precicely centered. "By eye" may not be close enough.

I've had the lift for about a year and a half, yes this is the first time the light has been on, the Jeep has been aligned and all has been recentered as well as the steering wheel(at the time of the lift). The light has since been gone and not come back yet. Thanks for your help guys!

Given the lift and heavier tires with hard braking it may have triggered the system thinking it was about to roll or whatever. Those stupid lights will trigger with a strong cross wind on the highway so if they turn off after cycling the engine then I wouldn't worry about it or just disable the system since your running a 3" lift.
