Default Dash Lights still Coming on after lift install HELP!

i installed a rough country 2.5 BB a couple of weeks ago and put 33" tires i had the steering wheel centered and had alignment and everything done to it but im still getting my ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ESP BAS lights coming on and when they turn off it makes me ABS go crazy and when i push on the breaks it does that grinding noise that you get to prevent your wheels from locking up. why is my jeep still doing all this and how can i fix it please help its been going on to long now

Break any wires or sensors? If the wheel is straight you shouldn't be having this problem. Might be time to scan it for codes.

no i didnt break any wires or sensors when i installed it at least not that i know of but i did remember that even when we bought it brand new the steering wheel was never even dead straight so i was thinking i should try to put it off to the left like it was before i lifted it you think that could be the problem ??

Im not sure... take a level and hold it plumb against either your fender or tire whichever sticks out further, and measure the gap to the one you are not holding theblvel against.

It should be the same distance on either side. You may need an adjustable trackbar.
