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,

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.

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

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.
