So I lifted my 2018 jeep 3.5 inches. Afterwards steering wheel was off about 45 degrees clockwise so rotated the drag link to shorten the length but didn’t have enough thread to get it centered. So I went counterclockwise and lengthened the drag link to center the wheel. Test drove no light. On my way this morning to get the alignment done Esc light came on. They did the alignment wheel is straight steering angle shows zero on off-road pages but light is back on now. I’ll hook code reader up to it later today. Side note death wobble much worse after removing block lift and getting actual suspension lift.

What lift? When going 3.5” and up, geometry correction is a lot more important….

I went with the rough country 3.5 lift with new drive shaft and adjustable lower control arms as well as an adjustable track bar and rear track bar. I know it's rough country but I only do moderate offroading on trails for hunting. So update left wheel alignment light on, went to bank .5 miles away, left bank light on went to post office 3.5 miles away, left post office headed back to house 5 miles away about halfway home light went off. I have to drive an hour away shortly so be a good test see if stays off or comes back.
