I bought a 2016 and had a 2" lift

    I had the lift installed.. everything worked before and now various warning lights come on. tHE abs WARNING first.. then the Check blind spot monitor.. the triangle warning stays on..
    Also the anti skid light stays on and the abs light..
    Then if I attempt to put it in 4X4 the triangle light begins to blink.. the 4X4 light on the dash never comes on.. it does go into 4 wheel drive but will not go into low range..
    The warning indicator now says 2wd - 4wd change failure. Then taking it out of 4 wheel drive the warnings continue.. it seems really messed up.
    Any ideas what might have been done to create this mess when installing what was supposed to be a simple 2" lift???

    I'd start with a VSC calibration and see if that fixes everything.

    Obviously the installer didn't bother.

    Have you had it aligned yet? Any alignment shop can do the recalibration as well. As can your dealer.

    I'd check to see if an abs sensor wire was damaged.
