Sluggish after lift

Installed MC overland elite last week, any reason Jeep should feel sluggish on stock wheels and tires? 15 jkur, 2.5 lift, all temps are good and it rides awesome. Is there something I could have boogered up on install or do you think I could be inadvertently babying her after lift install? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Nothing you did should cause sluggishness. If all you did was the lift itself it should accelerate as before.

Thanks, all I did was lift. I'm gonna go run the snot out of it.

No warning lights on dash? Only thing I can possibly think of is the esc/traction control acting up.

Spin one wheel at a time by hand and make sure nothing is binding up. Check that drive shaft is not binding somehow. Make sure ebrake wasn't left on. Make sure coils are seated properly. Vehicle shouldn't be sluggish after lift kit.

Sounds like the parking brakes may be applied slightly after lift instal. Did you unbolt the parking brake cable bracket from the body towards the rear of the jeep?
