See new thread "Pinion angle and a Warning".
It seems like you are describing your driveshafts pinion angles not being in harmony.

Did you get the steering wheel straightened after you put the lift on? If you did not it will affect the ESP.

It's most likely your brakes "pulsating" because the ESP thinks you're in a skid (due to a higher center of gravity). Mine does this occasionally too.

I will address these issues, I'd rather be save than sorry, thanks again guys. I'd post pics of this thing but my camera, at the lowest setting, wont load up, Too big jpegs or something? anyhow thanks again.
Any other Ideas or opinions are appreciated.

they checked the steering but I will get the angles checked.

certain on/off ramps will do it after the lift.

What Renegade said!

Kind of feels like when your brake pads wear down to bare metal, right!

We need a solution to this ESP problem, especially after a lift and big tires.

Take a look at this thread: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modified-jk-tech-2/help-esp-activation-through-normal-corners-2722/

The more you read posts in this forum, the more you're going to find people having trouble with this new JK after lifts and larger tires. Hope the aftermarket guys come up with a solution for us because the dealers and DC aren't being very accommodating so far.

Until an electronic or mechanical solution is found, I am adjusting my driving habits. Slower cornering speeds seems to take care of it. This is probably good for me anyway since I am now influencing my 3 year old with my driving habits. She keeps asking why all the other cars are driving slow.

After the lift install I did have problems with the ESP, but after centering the steering wheel, the problem went away, and I think I have only had the ESP kick in like 2 times since then, 1 was coming down the mountains here in VA steep angle and a real sharp turn and that was my fault. When they post speed limit signs for a sharp turn, which are like 25 MPH they mean it, If you quit driving a Jeep like a mustang you shouldn’t have any problems. The ESP works if you let it, something’s you just have to get accustom to having. If you stand back and look at what the ESP actually does, you would appreciate it a little more.
