RIDE HEIGHT and Speed

I am new at this Corvette stuff. I have a 01 C5 and it is my first. I was checking the ride height at the fender lips. I found the front is 1" lower that the rear. Is it normal? If so can the height be evened out? Also at what speed do you use 6th gear when cursing on a flat road and not accelerating hard. Thanks for the help.

I use 6th anytime I am above 45mph and don't plan to change speeds. Simply downshift to accelerate then right back to 6th to keep the gas mileage as good as it gets.
