Your steering wheel may be off center if you have not checked that. loosen the two bolts on your drag link (15mm) rotate it up or down to center everything properly and tighten the bolts. First place to start I think anyways, have you had it aligned since installing the lift?

Yes, it is off center a bit. No i havent had it aligned. I will adjust it when i get home. However, the throttle response feels extra sluggish as well, and i havent jumped tire sizes since lifting, ive gotten pretty used to the feel of thr 35s. Do you know if the 2 are related?

Okay, so; my wheels are centered. They've been centered, but the 35" toyos i have on i bought used with half treadlife left. There has been a pull to the passenger side ever since ive gotten them on. Ive rotated twice in last 1000 miles and every 250 or so (where im at), the pull gets worse. I researched a bit, and it sounds like the ESC doesnt like when I hold the steering wheel off center to keep the rig going straight down the road. However, im conflicted because i cant do much about the tires and the ESC is seeming to hinder me more than help me at this point. On the flip side, i realize that its a great program for onroad performance and im hesitating to turn it off. Any thoughts on what i should do? I figure its gotta be wearing the brakes out as well.

Problem solved. Kept toying with the drag link to dial the steering center in with the tires and the ESC light finally shut off after driving a while. Feels normal again. I dont think the tires were as much of a problem as i thought. Probably threw something off with the lift and/or a jolt offroad. Ill be checking the toe sometime this week and then go from there. Thank you for your help everyone!!!
