Your Avatar & Sig. suggests you have a Desmond CDX? in which case you DO have self levelling HID's. Check Passenger side Sensors both front & rear for loose connectors or control arms :y

Probably jacking up stressed the sensor, its attached from suspension arm to body, so fully extended suspension pulls the sensor out of its usual normal ride height position. If the small ball joints are seized on the little link arms its probably popped the large ball out of the sensor socket at the back.
Freeing up the link arm joints and greasing the sensor socket might see it  behave for a while once its popped back together. But once its popped out, they seem to need replacement soon after.

Although you might be able to bodge it with tie wraps or rubber bands. I never had much luck with that though.

Look in wheel arch gap nearest the door front and rear for dangling bits that shouldn't be there.

No it isn't. Front pic.


But either way, it shows the sensor itself , which is same front and back.
