The sensor lead comes out of the top of the differential, so maybe it hit the underside of the bed or something?

If the little sensors on the front wheels get dirty from brake dust or metal from a grinding front disc, the light will come on.

Clean them off and see if the light stops coming on.

I'd guess that an ABS sensor or its harness was either left unplugged or was damaged during the lowering process.
