Hi all, so I'm kinda pulling my hair out at this point, I've read through about 50 threads on similar issues, but I just can't find a solution.
So a rundown of what is going on, I have a 2021 JLU Rubicon Diesel, I recently installed a 4.5 MetalCloak Gamechanger, and 40" Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS tires. I installed the lift and tires myself, had the wheels and tires mounted and balanced by Discount Tire, and then had the lift checked, my work checked, and an alignment done at a local shop that does only lifted Jeeps. Since installing the lift I have the common service ABS, service Traction Control, service 4WD, and Sway Bar Disconnect unavailable, Cruise Control unavailable issues. And what I think is a death wobble (possibly an unbalanced wheel) at around 70-80mph. All of this has started after I lifted the Jeep. The kicker here is I have gone to two separate Autozones this morning, both read my codes, and the readout shows the ABS passed, and there are ZERO codes, this was identical at both shops, both tried to reset the lights and it didn't turn them off. Every other thread I have found seems to show a code to a speed sensor or something out.
What I have tried, I have replaced all four wheel speed sensors with aftermarket ones (possible issue is the rears they sent were the same length as the front ones, not sure if that is a problem). No change there. Could the rears not being the factory length be the issue?
I have tried to center the steering wheel as much as possible, I think it's centered, but with the AZ streets being curved it's hard to tell if it's centered since that curve pulls the tires one way or the other. Could it just be this is just off enough that it's still calling it.
I have checked all my fuses, they are good, I have pushed down on all the relays, everything seems to be fine there. Should I buy a multimeter and test each relay?
I'm really hitting my head here since I have no codes, and have checked/replaced every solution I have found across all the forums.
As far as the wobble, I can post my alignment sheet if you guys think it could help, I reached out to MetalCloak about the wobble, and they suggested a bit less toe in (I fixed that) and a little extra caster 6-6.5° which I have adjusted, I have a bounce/wobble at 70-80mph, but I don't know if it's a death wobble still or just a tire that is not balanced properly and due to the size I'm getting that crazy bounce. I did the chalk test and have my tires properly inflated as well.
Do you guys think I should take the tires back and have the balance checked, or go to another shop that maybe specializes in oversized tires and have them balance them?
I'm so confused that there are lights on, but no codes of any kind, I'm going crazy here lol, can any one point me in the right direction here, or something I may not have done or missed. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.
