Icon2 97 coupe passenger side higher than driver side of car?

I was jacking up my car to change to another set of wheels when i noticed that the whole passenger side of my car is 2 finger spaces higher in wheel gap than the driver side, i know this isnt normal.. lol whole suspensions stock btw , Also when i jack up the rear end of the car, something in the suspension creeks as i go up higher, doesnt sound good, any help on what this can be?

Answer: stock suspension... It's almost 2 decades. The uneveness could be because the struts didn't settle in and they're old, usually it's typical for cars to take a while to be at their ride height immediately after being lifted. I could be wrong, please somebody correct me. Creaking could simply be the old spring compressing.

the car was definately settled because i put my weight down on each corner of the car and nothing changed, but is it safe to drive?

Drive it around a little bit and check the ride height again. Mine does the same crap after I jack it up and let it down.
