   My car looks higher after being jacked up for a while.
   Is this normal?

   have you taken i for a drive/let thehandbrake off? the camber on the front wheels will be held up with the grip of the tyres if you havent taken it for a spin

   The suspension legs just need time to settle, either as said take it for a drive or just roll it backwards and forwards until it levels back down, this happens to most cars when they have been jacked up!!!
