Hopefully someone could help me on this or at least point me in the right direction. I rotated the tires today. First I did the driver's side of the car. I jacked the car behind the front wheel and crank the jack until both wheels come off the ground. Well, first off, the back wheel came off the ground first, then the front (that didn't make sense). It looked like the front wheel was hanging a little low, but I went ahead and switched the wheels without thinking about it much more. I then moved to the passenger side and jacked the car again from behind the front wheel. On this side of the car the front wheel came off the ground first then the back wheel (which makes more sense to me). And I feel like the front passenger wheel wasn't hanging as much as the front driver wheel. Anyone ever heard of anything like this or know what may be wrong here (or is there anything wrong here)? Or am I crazy?

Check your swaybar endlinks and bodymounts. Could be worn bushings or broke endlink. Odd that it didn't hang the same at both sides though.

That stuff seemed to check out. The endlinks were replaced about 4k miles ago. Everything looked tight. I might take it in and have someone check it out to make sure everything's ok.

And you are certain the driveway is 100% flat and level? Cars do not weigh exactly the same on each side, front to rear or whatever. I wouldn't worry much about it.

I was in the garage, so it was level. It just caught me by surprise. Maybe I perceived a difference. Still, I think I will get it checked just to be safe. Thanks.

Sounds like the rear wasn't extending all the way....I would definately get it checked.
