help...traction control interfearing with turning... - 8/26/2008 4:54:05 PM    TheMan21   Posts: 6 Score: 0 Joined: 8/26/2008 Status: offline I have a 2007 Z71 4x4 Silverado with a 6" Trail Master suspension lift with 33" tires. When i turn, left or right, many times the traction control does something (the traction control flashes on the dash when this happens) and causes the front brakes (i think) to grab, so to say. Does anyone else have this problem, or did i just get luckey? lol! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, G. < Message edited by TheMan21 -- 8/26/2008 8:00:21 PM > Post #: 1

I could be way off - just a thought. _____________________________ 6.0 LQ4 - 80mm TURBO - PRC DUAL SPRINGS - COMP LIFTERS & PUSH RODS - LINGENFELTER GT2-3 2CAM - 60# INJECTORS - ASP U.D.

It definitely sounds like the lift is causing your problem. I''ve heard others with similar issues after a lift and not immediately after it,sometimes months after. (in reply to TheMan21) Post #: 8

I would go with a speciality shop that works on 4x4s and lifts.   (in reply to TheMan21) Post #: 10
