Well its easy for the issue to go unnoticed because though the ABS turns on when turning sharply slowly the actual dash ABS light does not turn on. You will only know its the ABS because of how the pedel wobbles/feels. Goes away qucik too. The Stabilitrack mainly only turn on when making right turns and it does not make the SUV handle/feel different, the light just turns on.
Doesn't bug me much at al, but if you are under warranty you might as well get it fixed.

I don't think coilovers will effect anything. When I dropped my truck on springs all around I did not have the issue. It started with the 24s and has been the same ever since, even when I dropped the front 3" it remained like that.

I just installed my spindles as well and have the same issue. I had ground force springs in the front before and never had the issue. Also kinda pissed that my alignment doesn't look right either even after a alignment was done looks like I have to much positive camber. Also it raised the front up about a inch more then I had on my ground force. But the positive it rides so much better.

If you have got an alignment since the spindle install I bet your alignment is perfectly fine, you're probably just too used to the negative camber the GF springs gave you from spring sag. I bet those GF springs gave you atleast a 2.75" drop due to sag.
I'm inclined to say maybe a spindle and aftermakret wheel/tire install can cause this issue. I know its not caused by the McG spindle because people on GMFS with NNBS Sierra's/Silvys don't have that issue, and it's the exact same spindle.

I am the exact same setup as you, McG spindle and 24" slides with the same issue... Mine started after the spindle install as well... Maybe it is the GM bulletin but why is it happening after the spindle install?
