Default Esp problem

I went from a 2.5" spring to a 4" spring and now I'm having the problem. Dash light comes on and the jeep drives like crap. I have recentered the steering wheel and still have the same issues. Any ideas?

Pulled the fuse for now.

X2 just shut it off. Mine did it but only around really tight corners at higher speeds...which is what it is supposed to do because it senses a rollover threat.

Do you have adj trackbars and control arms? With 4in of lift you really need to have your suspension set up correctly so when you make a turn it doesnt kick on. I had orinally put in a kill switch for mine, but I added more suspension parts over a period of time and i don't even use the kill switch now. Very important also that you have your axles centered, especially in the front. If you are able to dial your suspension parts in, the esp won't kick on in turns anymore than it would if you were stock height.

I screwed with adjustments for months... If you don't shut it off, when you least expect it, the damn ESP will kick in and piss you off.
