Default Traction control problem?

Just installed 2.5"RK lift an running 35X12.50 trail grapplers... Going to have wheel alignment done Monday but here's my problem when I turn the wheel left the traction control goes crazy an the ABS come on an the brakes keep pulsing on an off an when driving on a straight road the brakes go on an I'm driving with the brakes on... I only put the lift on saturday an haven't driven it hardly anywhere but from the garage at my dads back to my house... Will the alignment fix this or is this another problem all together?

Also did anyone experience this problem an if so what did you do to correct it...

Thanks .... O ya I have 2011 2dr

That's your problem, you could adjust it yourself if you wanted

I'm on my phone but I think there is a write up on project jks site to straighten your steering wheel if not let me know and ill post up a pic of what u need to loosen and turn

Edit: I found it all you need to do is recenter your steering wheel and your esp and stuff will go off

I'm guessing it thinks your about to wreck. Mines came on before because it gets so windy here. Even if you take Sharp on ramps they can come on I've had that happen.

As posted before its because your wheel isn't straight and the computer things you're turning even harder then what you are.
