Default 2009 Gx470 Very harsh/bumpy ride after reconnecting battery.

Hi, I had to remove the battery of my 2009 GX470 to replace the headlight bulbs. After putting the battery back in i have noticed the ride quality has gotten really bad.
Specially the rear suspension seems to be jumping all over the place.

I have tried to have the truck go in all height settings one by one thinking it might reset it but still same ride.

Please help its driving me crazy

Is there a way to reset "Sport, Normal, Comfort" settings?

dont do that again, should be able to change those bulbs without taking battery out...done it a few times already because I use the sylvania ultra bulbs...more light, don’t last as long

A lot of the headlight bulbs are easier to access from underneath reaching up, FYI.

I have no answer as to why disconnecting your battery resulted in your rear suspension acting up...you didn't have the rear axle dangling in the air at any point recently, did you?

@IanB2. regarding the rear axle, not at all. I took it on the highway drove for about 20 miles around 60-70 mph. Truck rides very smooth and i dont feel any difference but on local streets on potholes still alot of harsh bounce from the rear.
