Default ABS Slip on 2010 FX4 HELP!

I have a 2010 FX4 with a 6 inch BDS lift. The truck was purchased new a few weeks ago has 3k miles on it. I had a local accessory truck center put my lift on. In the past 3 weeks my ABS has slipped on dry pavement with no pot holes or any other reason it should slip. Its normally in a right turn and it will jerk my wheels and i can feel it in the gas pedal as well. I'm pretty sure the dealership will say i voided my warranty so I have not takin it in just yet. Wanted to see if any of you guys had similar issues and how it was fixed. I read on some of the older models that they pulled the ABS fuse and this is not what i want to do since this is a new truck.

Are you using the brakes while turning? I can't imagine accelerating and using the brakes at the same time around a corner. Are you sure it’s the ABS? Could it be something in your lift kit that may be loose or slipping?

I would go back to the shop that installed the lift. Something is binding up. I never had that problem with my 6 inch lift.

ECS probably kicking in. How big are the tires on it now? When turning the difference in speed between wheels is much larger than it was with the stock tires... If you have stock wheels/tires laying around I bet it will go away if you put them on.

Also, try to disabling the traction control AND ECS (press and hold button for 5 seconds until icon flashes on dash), then drive in circles and compare.

I took it back to the shop and they checked everything. They said it all looked good so I took it to another shop around and had them check it as well and they don't see any issues. I am running 35x12.5x22 Toyo MTs vs the stock. It only happens every so often so when they drive it...of couse it don't happen but it happened to me again over the weekend. It was coming off a bypass dry pavement from 45 and hit the brakes to slow down kinda quick but not real quick just normal driving and it slipped again and the ABS lights up on the dash. It was a right turn as it was all other times as well.
