esp kicking in?
Centering steering was the key for me.............. before that, it was an excercise in frustration. Also increasing castor slightly, seemed to improve handling and esp deployment....... Not too much, otherwise you will get front driveshaft vibration.
Good luck

gould if after your lift the steering wheel isnt straight it will cause the esp to kick on, goto this write up on how to straighten it, takes 5min

First thing is definitely do a wheel alignment and check your toe-in because my ESP was acting up too until I did the alignment/toe-in. But also, please change out your front/rear driveshafts if you are using factory. I've seen way too many JK's bust a driveshaft or rip it out from offroading... the angle of the factory driveshaft after a 3" lift causes a lot of stress and rubbing/grinding; eventually it will break.
You have a 5" lift, your factory driveshaft is probably stressing now...take a look and see for yourself if there are already any signs of stress. Rubicon Express makes excellent driveshafts and will last forever (get the ones that are for a 4.5" lift).
But back to the ESP, it has to be your alignment/toe-in.
good luck!
