Default Roll mitigation?

I had a 2.5" BB installed not to long ago and now for some reason when
I travel on a road that has a slant to it one way or the other the roll mitagation kicks in and puts on the brakes. Is it normal for it to do that after installing a lift? And when the brakes kick in they sound like theyre grinding is anyone else experiencing this?

have you re-centered your steering wheel after the lift?

takes 10 minutes and all you need is a friend, a wrench and a pair of channel lock pliers

Yes the 4wheelparts aligned it after the install. It only happens sometimes but its more frequent then when i didnt have the lift.

No but if you're driving a little faster now that you've gotten to love your Jeep and it's bouncing around a little more, it could kick in a little more. I just turn it off if I'm driving somewhere and don't want it to kick in.

I am having an issue too after my 2.5" coil lift, but only a right turn into an upward sloped driveway with my foot on the brakes, then my ABS kicks in. Maybe if I slow down from a broadside skid, but then what's the fun of it.

Slowing down maybe what i have to do. It just bothered me that it had gone off 3 times after i had gotten the lift on and before the lift i only remember it goin off once.
