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.

he has an 01' wouldn't it be self leveling on sport packages assuming since you have SP wheels.
