Replaced shocks and car is jacked up
 
I replaced all four shocks with Bilstien Comforts and now my car looks like is has a lift kit installed.

Any thoughts on how to bring it back to normal?

Thanks,

have you rolled the car back a few feet? this is typical.. it should take care of itself

Drive it a bit and let everything settle in....shocks shouldn't radically alter ride height.

The front of my SD did that too when I put on new shocks. I went and found some speed bumps and it took care of the problem. :D :D

Could always install some 22s.

make sure that you installed the new rubbers correctly and REMOVED ALL THE OLD ONES.

Suspensions do settle; also there is some visual effect if the old shocks were sagging

mine did too
 
after new struts and front end - my ride height was way off - after an alignment and driving it a week or so it was back down - don't know why this is on the 300's - other cars I've owned never had an issue after new shocks or struts. So I guess I'm saying be patient and drive it a bit.
