Question about the suspension height

Guys sorry for my dumb question , im a noob on this topics.

My suspension were a lil bit higher in the back compared to the front, after i went to maintenance in the dealership ,now the front is higher than the back.

Is that normal ? becuase before the maintenance the front suspension was a lil bit more drop than now and its looks kind of rare. Maybe with the time it will drop again as normal?

Sorry for my english guys.

Usually this happens when your car is raised on the lift. It should go back to the normal height when it used to be.

If the shocks are stuck, the car is sitting high because when they looked on the lift, the suspension was hanging. It probably stuck in the "hanging" position. I suggest you have the shocks replaced.
