Default More Problems!!!!

After finding and fixing the cause of death wobble, i seem to have another problem. The issue is as i pass 25 miles per hour i seem to lose my traction. My ABS turns on and off on its own and my brake pedal has a fit when i slow down. Also as i turn my wheel i have a weird vibrating in the brake pedal.

I Currently need to aline my vehicle. It has a three inch lift with adjustable track bars. No larger tires as of yet. Everything is torqued to 120.

Any advice and help is welcome

thank you for reading.

Thank you all for the quick reply

i have not realigned my vehicle yet. for the most part my wheel is upside down.
From my previous experiences with other jeeps and older models a misalignment shouldn't cause this sever of driving conditions but i could be wrong as this is my first JK that i have owned.

Im to late but will reply anyway in case others read. I just installed my Tereflex 3" long arm lift. It was five days before I could get it aligned. Steering wheel was off center. My ABS, ESP, BAS and traction control were all going nuts when i hit hard bumps. Would only stay on for about a minute. Once she was aligned and centered all was good

Spent 21yrs in the Army. It was not by accident I bought the JK in this color.
