Possible VSC Issue with Lift?

So today while I was riding around my job site I took a right turn and my brakes modulated like the anti-lock brakes kicked in, but what felt like only on the drivers front side and the car beeped at me twice. No lights came on at all on the dash. So I backed up and went around the corner again, and again, and again. It did it 3 of the 4 times. Later as I went around a different right hand corner it did it again. Is this the skid control system kicking in? I read on the YT forum thru a google search that it sometimes after a lift they don't see eye to eye. The fix seems to be disabling the VSC. Before I go splicing into wires and changing stuff...anyone else have this happen to them and what did you do to fix it? Thanks!

Oh...I'm a 2006 V8 4WD...and I think that matters somewhat.

Interesting. And I think I know why this is doing it once I think about it. I removed my front sway AND I have massive driver lean. I'm waiting for my damn Icon wrench since I messed up the one MRT gave with the CO's. Once I get it to match the passenger side I'll put the sway back on since I think it's sagging too much around turns. An alignment MAY help too along with a rear spacer to help with getting it back to level back in the ass area. Thanks for that link! Much appreciated!

That could definitely be causing it to be overly sensitive. There is one hill/turn around here that gives my 2008 fits. I still need to do the ZPC as well. I've had a number of alignments this year but on one of them the steering wheel was way off from center. The VSC was kicking in around almost every corner like that. As soon as I re-centered the steering wheel, the VSC calmed down. So once you get that CO re-adjusted, sway bar re-installed, and aligned your problems might go away.
 
I have searched and maybe I just suck at the interweb but how do you disconnect the traction control. It continues to cause me issues when I'm offroad.

What I did was just unplug the traction control so that I never have to deal with that anymore.
