    Finished installing my lift today and the VSC, ABS and Brake light came on and stayed on. How common is this? Will the recalibration help?

    Did you tug on any wires too hard? You might have broken an ABS Sensor wire.

    This...

    Can easily happen if your not careful when You disassemble the front control arms linkage. If you let them hang and didn't support them this is most likely your problem.

    Would it be safe to drive to the dealership 20 miles away?

    If your not leaking any fluid from your brake lines or calipers you might be ok to drive it to the dealer. Just keep in mind you don't have ABS so if it's wet or rainy be easy on the brakes.

    depends on how and where it's broken you could get some heat shrink and solder it back together. other than that its going to depend on how much of the waring harness you're going to have to replace.

    Can you post a picture of the break? might be easier to help you fix it if we know what you're working with.
