Default 2008 Suburban with traction control issue

Anybody have this problem, I have a 2008 Chevy Suburban with 4 inch lift, and 35 inch MT's. When I turn a corner the traction control light blinks and the brake foot pedal shakes like the ABS is kicking in. No codes come up on scanner. A few times I have turned corner and the front wheels feel like they have posi traction and it almost pulls wheel from my hand. Tires do not rub against body and no lights on dash. just a couple of blinks from Traction control on every turn.
Any help would be great!

Is your 4wheel drive activated or in auto 4wd?

What happens if you turn the traction control off?

I have checked to make sure we didn't roll the **** over to 4X4 or even Auto 4X4. transfer case is in 2Hi and when I turn off TRaction Control the problem is a bit less but instead of the majority of the shaking in the steering wheel, it moves to the Foot brake pedal. I did read some other threads on The chevy Equinox having similar problems. I hope Chevy didn't use the same materials for these two vehicles, huge size and weight difference between these 2 cars, plus the towing capacity of the sub would lead me to believe they might put a little more heavy duty stuff on the car. its too bad a $40,000 car isn't what it use to be, my 3rd suburban and this 08 seems to be made of poor quality materials. Wish I had my 98 back, that thing was a great car.
Thanks for your reply!
