Yup - That's what it looks like - a cat in heat, rear end raised like a dragster's. I suspect it's a sending unit somewhere giving a false leveling code or something. Can I disable this feature if it's not really essential and is very $$ to fix?

you know for sure it has an air ride leveling system?
sounds like the front air ride is fully deflated possibly due to leakdown and the rear is the norm or possibly slightly over compensated. your just noticiing it now more with the front deflated
work is more often done on the front of the vehicle. check the small plastic air lines for any breaks,cracks or pin holes not allowing it to hold pressure

Other way dmac - the butts in the air! Level sensor at RR lower control arm to body probably broken, rusted or brain dead!
Have a quick look-see johnboy and see it stuff is swinging back there before we go nuts,

Thank you for the reply. I checked the RR - the sensor arm is still attached, although not very pretty. I looked under the hood and I think I found the motor/compressor, but that's the extent of my exam and knowledge. Guess I could just cut one of those thin air lines and hope for a hiss and rear drop-down.
It sucks now being car-stupid after working on the stripped-down babies in the 50s and 60s.

DON'T CUT THAT LINE! Pump will just keep trying. The rubber of the rear shocks will collapse and they don't like that. If the arm thing is intact then see how it attaches which short of rust is removable and move the bar to somewhere in the middle and then you have to wait and the car should self adjust back down to normal or so. If that works and you are happy with that spot then rig it to stay there.
Johnboy - your only a half hour and $20 bucks of gas away from me so give me a call if it's screwing you up and I can do something while U wait if you can handle my feirce guard Kitty!
