Truck might be suffering from the altitude lol

Have you tried and ECU reset?
Other things to look for would be chaffed cables under the dash. Maybe its getting a stray earth from somewhere it shouldnt

aanndd who would would i go see to hav that done, or is there somthing under bonnet i can take a hammer too ? handles very well on & off road , with a better turn circle, had to swap adjustable steer arms

the ecu reset is easy mate, all you do is disconnect the battery(make sure you have the radio security code) then with the battery disconnected put your foot on the brake to get rid of any residual power, then hook the battery back up.
This also can help with fuel re- learn so if you go for a very gentle drive making sure not to go over 2500rpm then turn it off again and the reset is complete.

With a lift that big, you should have had your ABS cables extended. They're responsible for several things, including whether or not you can get into 4HI or 4LO.

I think a good start to figuring it out will be to check the ECU for codes. Anyone with a $200 Scangauge can do that, or if you have a $50 BlueTooth OBD adapter you can use free software on an Android phone to do it.

If the car's running normally except for these lights it's possible something has been damaged. There's no way to tell at this early stage.

Try the reset as suggested, then see if you can get those codes read.

Mate have you extended your abs lines? I did a 7" lift on my D40 and had a mechanic extend the front lines but i thought the rear were long enough, then when she flexed up it stretched the lines and actually busted the abs sensor in the rear left hub ($140 later). And it was kicking up all sorts of stupid codes and warning lights. So all im saying is make sure there is plenty of slack on those abs lines!!!!
