Traction Control Light (and now ABS applied) when hitting bumps/dips at speed

[JeepOfTheseus]

As of recent, the traction control light has flashed when hitting dips on the freeway that cause a couple rebounds. It doesn't seem to be the hard bumps (i.e. potholes), but rather the ones that feel like the bottom of a roller coaster hill.

The only recent "mod" is adding 2" TeraFlex shock extensions which actually put my shocks back to damn near 50/50 at ride height (previously they were about 70% extended). It seemed to improve the ride, but now this is happening. And today...it was so bad it applied ABS at 70 mph which is scary and not safe.

I have FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Series Shocks, so I'm thinking to adjust them (to be a little stiffer), but I'm wondering if/why the extensions would cause this or if I'm barking up the wrong tree entirely.

Check your abs wires running to your wheel speed sensors and make sure they haven't rubbed through the insulation against something.

Not sure when this happened, but doesn’t seem great. Looks like a heat gun or weld/grinding got to it.

I *did* just have an intense fab job done back there, but I swear it was happening before that.

In any case, I’ll replace this and see if it goes away.
