questions after bl

so i just finished my body lift and i took it around the block and noticed my abs light was on. Is this normal with bigger tires on it??

also after i shut it off i tried to restart it and my battery was dead. Is there anything i obvious i could have done during the bl that would make my alternator go out

one more thing. My im guessing my speedo is going to be off because of my bigger tires. is it going to tell me my speed it higher or lower then what im actually going

1. It is not normal. You may have destroyed a sensor, or stretched a wire. Something along those lines.

2. Battery may have been dead due to being unhooked for so long. Battery's on it's way out possibly.

3. Speedo will read SLOWER than you are actually traveling. How much slower, depends on your stock tire size and your new tire size. Whatever the percentage difference is, will be the difference. This also effects your odometer too.

Bolts to the back of your engine block then goes up and bolts onto your firewall. How'd you break it?
