Default Lift kit-abs problem

Ok I got a fabtech 3" lift I had a alignment done steering centered and all seemed good. Now the problem is when we go around certain corners the front locks up and the breaks and stearing shake. I was told we need to reset the ecu or would we be able to use a programmer to fix this issue. I also took it to a shop and had it hooked up to a diagnostic computer as we drove it and it should nothing even though the sensor went off but the dummy light didn't come on. Any suggestions would be appreciated..

AEV procal or just adjust your steering wheel off a few degrees down on the left side when tires are straight.

it sounds like the steering wheel needs to be centered, Im not that knowledgable though, I dont think the Superchips will do that, the AEV Procal does it, but the Superchips can be used as a reader Im told. Im leaning toward the Superchips......

I took it to the shop twice they said it was centered of course we are talking les schwab so maybe I need to go some other place. Damn wish I was smart enough to work on vehicles.

Just a heads up, I had a 3 in lift installed, tried to center the steering wheel according to the write up, messed up the ABS and the SRS. Wife had to take it back to the dealer and have it realigned. All I did was give it 1/4 turn and it set everything off. To many computer controlled features.
