This is fairly basic, but just in case I'll describe one possible issue. After I helped a friend install his adjustable front track bar, we jumped in his JK for a test spin around the block. ESP went crazy - kept applying brakes and we were just driving down a road that was straight as an arrow. Turns out that the ESP system is very sensitive to steering wheel alignment. If it's not close to centered, then you may have problems. After we adjusted the steering wheel alignment, all was good.

Even corrected an issue that he would occasionally experience when he drove around a freeway cloverleaf (Edit: This was prior to the adjustable track bar install). If he went into the initial curve just a hair too fast, on would come the brakes. That was with a 2" budget boost lift. Again, after the alignment - goodness.

Hope your solution will be this simple.

Had the same issue with mine....re-centered steering wheel and all was good as well.

the procal tells me when the steering wheel is exact center. so that when i realign i am positive that the steering wheel is centered. so the wheel is centered.
