You kind of answered your own question. The 5" lift. Use the search and you will see hundreds of post about this.

Is your steering wheel perfectly straight?

Did you replace the driveshafts? If not, you'll need to.

When I first got my 4" lift installed it was on in most turns that caused the jeep to lean. After airing down for the first time to go off road I noticed when I was driving from the trail to air up that the ESP was MUCH better about not kicking in when I aired back up I didn't go as high as they had the pressure (they had it at 50 PSI). I took it to 40 in each tire and it is sooooo much better.

As everyone said, if your wheel is not straight that will be the first thing, but after that I suggest you check your tire pressure. That really helped me a lot.

@ 50psi but still at 40psi......thats to much air dude, no way your tires are going to wear evenly....you should be running high 20's to low 30's at most.
