    So after installing my All-Pro OffRoad Long Travel Kit with Fox Shocks with DSC, I drove my truck up and down the street a few times. I then used the spanned wrench to adjust the ride height. Took it for another short ride. Then took it for an alignment the next day as I was getting on the highway the traction control light came on. So I continued with the alignment. As I was driving it up there the brakes were making a strange noise (noise was solved later). I picked it up from the shop and they said that I need better camber washers and that I was rubbing on my spindles (I knew I was close to the spindles but not rubbing). So I get to the truck and try to back it up and I can't turn in reverse. So we get it back to the house and found out I was missing a bolt that goes into the caliper and mounts on the knuckle and the bottom bolt was extremely loose. So I fixed that problem with a new bolt and correct torque specs. I haven't had any brake noises since, but the traction control light was still on.

    I have heard that you could take your truck to the dealer and have them pulling the code up on a laptop. But I stopped by today and they wanted to charge me $89 for that bull crap.

    I also heard that I may have damaged my ABS wire. But I doubt I did that since the ABS light is not on.

    Other that not being able to grease a zerk fitting and the Traction control light, the truck runs great!

    All other threads on this subject seem to be dead.

    Any help or input would be helpful!

    update on this: I took my truck to a local garage. They ran the codes and came back with four different codes. Cleared them and drove the truck five miles. Light hasn't come since then. Good thing I did get the codes run because the next weekend I went to the NC mountains to go snow boarding and was spinning my tires everyone in a while in the snow and ice.
