My front right wheel is like 1.5 to 2 inches higher up in space from the wheel well and the tire then the rest of my car. does anyone know if this is a shock thats bad? why would it get higher on just one wheel?

This would be a problem with the springs or a broken lower A-arm.

Unless you have high pressure gas aftermarket shocks (Bilstine), then I doubt it. The OEM (Tokico), Koni Yellow & Tokico Dspec are all low pressure shocks and they shouldn't make that much difference.
