I just took a measurement of my axle and it is 1/2" off center. I will adjust tomorrow to center and see if that resolves the issue. Thanks for all the feedback.

Honestly though, a half inch is nothing and shouldn't be causing this

I have a 07 with a 4" lift. I know most of all 07's do that. The computer needs to be flashed. A dealership can do that. Jeep was suppose to fix the problem in the 08's. I did alot of research on this. Some dealers will charge you though.

You don't unless you've changed your suspension dynamics. If that's the case take it to whoever installed your lift, they'll know what to do.

To the OP: If I'm in rain or light snow I reach over and turn it off to avoid the possibility of it kicking in when I don't want. If you've checked your components and nothing is amiss - you are going to fast.............. in a Jeep.

Sit in the driver's seat and just turn it til it's centered.

As soon as I got mine lifted I shut it off full time and never turned it back on... sure you get to look at the light all the time but you get used to it.

judt for the record, the computer doesnt care how fast the posted speed limit is. if the computer senses too fast or unstability, then it does what it was designed to do and thats to protect your brain. slow down dude

sorry man, wasnt trying to be an ass, our thinking is different from computers
