i had the car jacked up on all four wheels to do a brake job. sat all 4 wheels down  now the rear end sticks way up and the front end way down, whats the reason? my son got in the engin compartment and the front end dropped down  thanks john

You probably have your rear spring shackles flipped forward, there has recently been a thread on this subject here on the forum. Jack the car up again and with a bar lever the shackles backward while lowering it back down.
