Default Traction control light

I just put a 1.5" Auto spring leveling kit on my 13 ecoboost a couple weeks ago. Now today I noticed that whenever I turn onto a gravel road I get the traction control light coming on. Turning on blacktops it has never came on. Only when turning on gravel roads. I searched and everything I have found leads to a TSB for 2010s. Haven't came across much for the newer years. Any ideas on what it would take to keep this from happening without having to disable the traction control every time? If you have a leveling kit on a 13 have you experienced any TC issues after adding a leveling kit?

I have a 13 5.0 with a 2.5 leveling kit with block in the back and I haven't had this problem yet.

Not turning any differerntly than before the level. About 15-20 turning onto the gravel roads. Ive tried to get it to activate while driving straight on gravel but it doesnt. It only flashes when turning on gravel.

Hell mine will do it on the pavement when I lay down on it to pass and runover one of the reflectors on the road I guess it is just enough to make the light come on and cut power

I'm 2.5 inches lifted and leveled. Every time it hits a small bump where the front can drop down it triggers it or when I'm in 4x4 and have wheel slip it studders

I have the 2.5" level and 3" blocks. Mine does the same thing too. Not on dirt roads tho. Mainly if I'm turning and hit a bump or something along those lines. It's annoying. Or if I'm pulling into a parking lot and the incline of the entrance will set the traction control off.

Exactly. Also how are your cv joints I seem to have some ticking up front with them because of the angle
