Question New Lift installed - Questions

Just finished installing a 3" Black Diamond Lift last night. On the initial test drive the ESP light came on a Few times then went off. Haven't drove it much since, but I did drive it some with no issues since. I did recalibrate speedo with Hypertech Calibrator. What are the possible causes? What else should I be looking out for? and Finally....What is the proper way to measure caster?

Thank you, Great site. I have already learned a ton here!

make sure that you recenter your steering wheel and that will probably solve your ESP problem. also, make sure that you have not over inflated your tires. a 35" tire should only have about 28psi in it. regarding caster, you can measure is by placing an angle finder on the base of your axle C or on top of the ball joint. this link should help you out:

Thank you WOL for the quick response. I re-centerd the steering wheel and thought I had it right, but after driving it a bit, I noticed it was off. Will try to re-center.

It took me 3 test drives before I got mine centered correctly.

The esp problem could just be your larger tire size. My jeep is stock other than having 33" tires and my esp comes on.
