Any help would be greatly appreciated

If it's not the wires or sensors (make sure the actual wires going into the connectors are not damaged on the inside), your ABS module may be going bad. You can get it rebuilt for about 200 bucks.

Mine does it only when the DR's are on it and they are the same height as the front tire. Go figure????

01SS is your rear setup to work with abs? Not all are...

Did you recalibrate your ecm for the new gears you have?

I have not, I only went from 3.42's to 3.50's, would recalibrating solve this?
Also I was driving my car today and the low trac went off and then the abs inop light came on. After turning my car off and driving it again, only the low trac light was on. I want to mention that it doesnt stay on all the time. The low trac light will only come on above 60mph and cruising at that speed, it will turn of for a bit then come back on for a bit, etc.

thanks for your help!
