Default ESP system

So I changed the springs on the front of my 08 Sahara to the stiffest ones from a rubicon. I believe the number is a 16. I also changed the springs on the back to the 59's. I then added a two inch budget lift and now my damn ESP system turns on when I go around traffic circles. What the hell is that about? I have 33" tires.

Did you straighten the steering wheel after lifting?

I did but it seems to still be off. I have to hold it on the road now.

The steering wheel has to be centered for the light to go off. It may take a few rides for it to go out after it is centered.

Sounds like you need to have your alignment checked if it's pulling.

The light only comes on when I go around long sharp turns. But it doesn't always come on. I am pretty sure I do need an alignment though.

Might need to slow down around turns. Could be sensing loss of traction from a tire lifting or roll.

Is it both left and right? Or just one or the other?

I think it is only the drivers side.
