Default Adjusting ride height linkage on UL?

I have a 2004 UL with air suspension and the "stance" of the car looks slightly off to me.

There is more wheel gap between the top of the tire and the fender in the front than in the rear. Is this normal for a UL?

As far as I can tell the air suspension is working fine. The car drives straight and the suspension is smooth with no bumps/rattles/etc.. I just purchased the car last month and the service records do show a new front driver's side air strut was replaced at a Lexus dealer in Dec., 2020. It looks like an OEM strut was used.

Can I adjust the front and rear ride height linkages without causing any problems?

Thanks in advance for any advice/input.

It is normal to have a greater gap in front.
But here is some more information ...
