Default Adjusting UL Ride Height

Have a new to me 2003 LS430 UL that is a little low on the right rear. From what I have read it seems that adjusting the left front (which is a little higher than the right front) would be the place to start. Question I have is in order to lower the left front, would you make the link length longer or shorter and is one full turn of the front adjuster ~ .20" height?

If someone has been fiddling with the levels, then you will struggle to get it 100% level again without the right equipment.
I haven't done anything with mine but have seen where others have had to reset after previous adjustments.
Hopefully they will chip in with their experiences.

I did find the Lexus service history entry where the right rear strut assembly was replaced, outside of that??? I do have a vxdiag VCX FD that shows it works with techstream software but need to find that as I only have setup the tech2 (tech2win) software. I'll see if vxdiag can send me a techstream link.
