Havn't you learned that if Rubimon and I are on the same thread either malls or jewelry or both are gonna come up?

Seriously though. Some guys are having esp and some aren't with the same exact kits. I think it's in the install. I don't think Wayolife has esp problems where as I do. We both installed our own lifts. I'm sure he did his right. ( the first time) Mine on the other hand? What are all those left over parts?

Very true, however, even with the hardtop, I had no problems.

Side wall flex would! Same reason racers run low profile tires and not tall white walls.

My point exactly. I did not do a professional install and I have esp issues that are going away as I fine tune and adjust my lift. I think the esp problems are in the lift/install. I predict as I get everything dialed in correctly my esp problems will be gone.

(hey Way, heads up I'll be under your Jeep this weekend with my tape measure and a note pad)

I didn not do a professional install either, me and a co worker, the Jeep parts manager, installed my lift and I installed every other upgrade myself without a hitch. I am not a tech by the way, I am the Honda parts manager at our dealership. I never said that wheel size WAS the problem, I was merely saying that it could contribute IN SOME CASES. There seems to be no ryme or reason or constant factor, that I've seen, that all people with ESP problems are having. Like Rubimon said, hard and soft tops could be one of many factors also, because of center of gravity issues.
