Help! Rear suspension is raised super high!

I woke up, went to my car and the rear of my car is like raised to the tilt.

I mean, there is like 6 to 8 inches of space between my wheel and well. This is not normal.

I did not push any buttons or do anything. But it's both sides not just one side, so I assume this a feature? I have never seen this before nor know what to do.

Any help? PLEASE!!!!

WOW...Curious to see what that is. I bet a sensor or module...I am sure others will chime in with what the deal is!

Looks like some of the cars from the 70's with the "Gabriel Hi Jacker" air shocks!

I am sure you tried...Did you press the buttons to see if it lowers it?

I know the one I had (for a week) had the reverse problem...But I could push the button to raise it / then lower it...It would "snap out of the problem" and go back to normal.
