Default ESP and BAS light on

I just installed a RC 3.5" lift and my ESP and BAS light is on and will not go off. Does anyone know what happened and what I can do to resolve this issue?

Did you recenter the steering wheel?

Q: How do I recenter my steering wheel?
A: To re-center your steering wheel, use a 15mm wrench to loosen the 2 nuts on the turnbuckle on your drag link as shown in the pic below. Then, rotate the turnbuckle clockwise or counter clockwise as needed while a friend watches the steering wheel (or you periodically check on it yourself) go back to center. Once re-centered, secure the nuts and take it for a drive to check your steering wheel. This may take a few tries to get it on 100% but that’s all there is to it.

Procal has a nice unit which is nice for JK owners when we make changes.
The computer is very sensitive and this will center the wheel to the computer.
It does a lot of other things also like tires , axle ratio , TMPS and more.
I have one and it is well worth the $150.

Yep, esp may kick in a little on tight turns, but you'll be fine. But it kinda also depends on how far off-center it is. Have you taken it for a spin around town or something yet. The more off-center, the quicker the esp will engage

Mine went outa whack this last weekend, and I have the same lights on. Like others have said I'm betting it's the steering wheel issue. I'm driving mine until I have time to adjust it too.
