Default ESP/ BAS Light came on

After installing a 4 inch lift on my jeep jk 2 door, i drove it about 50 miles down the road and noticed the ABS and traction control were acting funny, my guess is that i just need to adjust my steering wheel back to center, any other thoughts I'll keep ya posted with what happens when i correct my steering wheel today.

Also check front axle is centered. Sometimes after a lift is put in the front axle is off center and that effects steering geometry. Nothing worse than adjusting the drag link to find that the axle is off and when centered the drag link needs to be put back to the original position.

So what might be some other problems that could cause it?

Typically it's the alignment?

I looked at the cables and didn't see anything I tried to straighten and make sure they were as loose as possible.
