Default Traction control light and throttle loss

I'm sure there are plenty of other threads on this and sorry for starting a new one, but...

I was on my way home tonight and after a about a mile of driving the traction control light (the one with the squiggly tire tracks?) came on and I lost most of my throttle. I could pretty much just coast. I hit the button twice to turn it off and on again and everything seems to be ok after driving about 10 more miles. Should I be worried about anything? I've had a 4 inch lift on for about a year and just got new rear coils last week...could that have to do with anything. I'm running stock control arms right now too. Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

After installing your lift and tires, did you recenter the steering wheel?

I didn't do the install myself, but I'm sure 4wheelparts did. It's driven fine until this happened after they put the rear springs on.

Wouldn't it be a liability if they didn't re-center it? Sure it couldn't be something else?

If it is, then what exactly can I do to fix this problem myself?

Just a computer glitch I'm sure.

Yeah, it hasn't happened since that night so I'm pretty sure that's what it was. Had me a little scared though! Thanks for all the reply's
