    I find whenever i take off my traction control in the dirt, if i take a turn too fast or I’m intentionally trying to get it sideways, I hear a faint clicking in the front and it feels like the front brakes are fluttering.

    I’m thinking it’s the brake lines getting tension on them and causing this as i do not have extended lines.

    Bilstein 6112s w/ 2in of lift and 285s.

    Any ideas?

    Are you in 2wd, or 4wd? Thinking it's in diff, or hub.(Wheels sensors) Not sensor making noise. Trying to engage proper wheel for traction. Not your brakes.

    You probably are just pressing the traction control button once, correct? If so this is the vehicle stability control kicking in to keep vehicle stable while ur playing with the traction control off, to turn both off press traction control button and don't let off but hold it down till I think 3 lights come on the dash now it will be as disabled as it gets and vsc will be disabled also.

    This is in 2wd. I am only pressing the button once. I was just messing with turning it all the way off. Hopefully that helps. I’ll definitely try it as soon as i take it out again
