Yep erroneous ESP firing is just a symptom of a poorly setup suspension. Yes you can just disable ESP, but that's a really bad idea. One because you're leaving your suspension setup badly. Two your turning off what I think is a very effective safety system.
The bottom line is...
Your steering wheel needs to be centered
Your axles need to be centered
Your castor needs to be 4+ degrees (preferably more like 6).
People don't like to hear that answer because it typically means purchasing adjustable trackbars and adjustable lower control arms. But it is what it is.
My ESP never fires unless it should.

Sure you want lowers? I always thought uppers for adjusting angle and lowers to adjust location (move axle forward or back). Does it just not matter for such small adjustments? Or am I just plain wrong?

You can adjust your caster with with upper arms or lower arms (or both). Having both lets you adjust the wheelbase and the caster. Having one or the other only lets you adjust the caster.
I have both uppers and lowers. I think it's much easier to drop the lowers to adjust them. I can adjust my lowers with the tires on and the jeep on the ground. It takes me maybe 10 minutes minutes to make an adjustment.
But either would probably work.

I have the '08 Rubi 2 door, and if you look in the owners manual, on page 109 I think, it will tell you how to turn the unit full off, otherwise you have to pusth the off button whenever you want it off....
