Traction control on my j.k.
I had a four inch superlift suspension lift installed on my 2008 j.k. Unlimited. I changed my tires to 285/70/r17 and now everytime i make a sustained turn my traction control activates. Is anyone having the same issues and if so, can anyone tell me how to fix it?

It sounds like you need to recenter your steering wheel. Follow the directions in this link:

Also, did your lift kit come with an adjustable track bar? Make sure your axles are centered before you center the steering wheel.

Increasing your caster with front adj. control arms helped me a ton with this issue. I can haul ass around corners with no jeep nannies slowing me down.

Castor
Yep, check your wheel... if its good then its probably caster... if your lift didn't come with adj. lower control arms then lowering your tire pressure might help a little.

If its pulling to the right that sounds like a different issue. It could be something as simple as low tire pressure on that side. I can't say what the cause is but I'm sure somebody will chime in with some help.
