    2-3 inch Revtec lift by Les Schwab, 265-75-18 after market rims and mud tires, Banks Exhaust, AFE Cold Air Intake, Throttle Body Spacer, Air Sensor Chip.
    Hi I am new to this group and it has told me to start here... I have a 2011 Tacoma and I have had it lifted at Les Schwab, now every time I make a sharp turn the steering and brakes lock up like it is trying to straighten out and wants to send me into on coming traffic or off the road... I have taken it back to Schwab for a zero point and aliegnment and as soon as I left and went to get on the freeway it did it again... Can anyone out there help me? I am going to take it back to have the lift taken out and or sell it!!! :confused:

    You lifted so I'm assuming that means larger tires also? If so, take it to get the skid control ECU reset and that should solve your problems. When you change the tire diameter, it throws the ABS off.

    I have never heard of the Skid Control ECU, thank you for the info, I am willing to try anything to make this safe to drive. I really do apperciate the help. If there is anyone else out there with any advice please pass it on to me... Oh and yes I did go to a bigger tire size, it is a 265-75-18, mud and snow tire so they are pretty aggresive...
