Default OK...I lowered a 07 Tahoe,Stability System Does not agree ???

Did a 2/3 drop on a 07 Tahoe with 20" wheels,(ft.knuckles-rear lowering springs-rear shock extensions),looks awesome,rides awesome,one little problem...Stability System becomes active in parking maneuvers,turning left and right below 10 mph...VERY annoying.Dealer says "system operating to intent", kits fault.....Kit mrf. says installers fault,must have damaged something or vevicle system problem ? Paid for a system operation description, was told and shown all sensors operational without any diag.trouble codes.(KIt Mfr.suggested wheel speed sensor damage),i disagree,no ABS light...I'm lost here,any ideas anyone ????

I should have mentioned a dealer tech buddy switched all speed sensors,one at a time and the EBTCM with a new stock unit to eliminate the possibility they may be the cause.Only 2 sensors left....yaw/lat and swps....we didnt change them...($$$ beginning to get up there),i'm just trying to determine the cause of the condition...so i can point the finger at all the people who were wrong.The kit Mfr.is very reputable and willing to stand behind their product,we just need to find the root cause.I should mention the condition did'nt occur until 5 days after the installation of the kit,at first problem was mild and became progressively worse till it's unbearable.For now i have dis-connected the swps to disable the system,nothing like a 45K truck with a constant warning in the dash !!!! Thanks Black 5.3 for your reply !

didnt think the stability system should activate at lower speeds.. put the stock suspention back on and see if that works then just send that sh&t back..

what kit did you get is your truck a 4x4 do you have same Dia tires front and back??

I agree...system should'nt activate at such low speeds.....it;s a two wheel drive with factory 20" wheels,Black Truck,Blacked out bowtie and Black billet Grille,pretty sharp i think and i DO want to keep it,just cant handle the stab.prob.I was told today the 2/3 drop may have ^%##)@'ed up the yaw/lat sensor orientation,or possibly the excessive negative toe after the drop may have changed the steering rate,causing an "uncorrelation" effect on the stab.system....again,i'm lost here.I am aware of "Yaw Rate Reference Table Reset" procedure for the earlier models,but not for the 07.What bites most of all is GM is "out" because of the kit,and a side note.....i dont want to drop the name of the company who made the kit...great reputation and they have been very understanding about my problem but say this is the first thay have heard of this and have sold over 500 kits without a hitch....if the kit is not the problem,GM is going to get an earfull and i'll push the companys kit as the easiest to install with no change in ride quality,I'm in so deep now,i just want to see this through and maybe be help to someone else later.
