Exclamation Ls400 4x4?!?!

I walked out to my car today and this is what it looked like. I have tried to mess with all the buttons but it wont settle back down... Any ideas? Ive never messed with the air settings before, is there a trick to getting my car off its new 4" lift?

Yeah its freaking crazy! I don't understand what the hell happened... Is there a way to manually force the air out? The weird thing is that if you push down on the back end it doesnt budge... Very hard..

One of the height sensors in the rear are probably defective, making the LS think it's too low and need to put some air in. You need to have a certified mech check it out for you or do it yourself if you're mechanically inclined.
You could jack her up take one of the rear wheels off and let some of the air out of the struts. Then drop it back and let the compressor re-add air until it reaches normal ride height by the time you wait for the part to get it fixed. The sensor is not expensive and not hard to install.

Rofl... I never knew oem air suspension could go up that high. No joke this had me cracking up. I hope you don't have to ride around like that for long.
