Well, without seeing you bowl... a couple of things to keep in mind.
1) Have you been holding the ball higher in your stance lately without realizing it? Check this the next time you bowl. If you start the ball higher in your stance, you will generally end up with a higher backswing.
2) Are you sure you're not "helping" the ball get up to that extra height? (By pulling the ball into the backswing, as opposed to letting gravity dictate the height)
3) Direction of pushaway? Has this changed lately?
Again, there are a few different things that could cause this. See if any of the above apply next time you bowl.
