In what way do you have to modify your driving style to prevent it from happening?

Thanks again!
You'll feel a pulsating sensation on the wheel that activates. Slowing down on curves minimizes when it will activate (my wife loves that). Here's a link to a website that describes how it works:

Drove to Indy and back this weekend, no problems. 3" lift and 35" tires.
I have taken a couple of on ramps at around 45mph and had to make one emergency lane chane due to an idiot on I74 outside of Peoria. I did the JE Reel driveshafts though too, not sure if that makes a difference.

Driving to Colorado and then Utah over the course of the next week. I'll keep an eye on it and report any issues if they happen.

Thank you all very much for the information. It was very helpful. It sounds like this isn't really much of a problem and was overstated by the salesman that I had talked to. It's really nice to get real world feedback like this!

Thanks!
