I had this confusion whilst doing mine. they looked odd, but a short trip up the road, they were back to the exact same height. If they are both measured on the threads as the same, then they are going to be level when lowered. Any slight chances in angle of road could make it look out, or if the tyre pressures are different.

and with the roads being ripped up left right a centre for re-surfacing round here lately.
The only thing i have driven recently where the raised drains didnt bother me in the slightest was the Van Razz
