Should fender height be the same front and back?

My front shock were shot, so I replaced them today and now the distance from the fender to the ground is 27", while the back is only 26".... I saw something that said this was correct for a RWD, but only one article on that.

Should they both be the same? If so should I have them adjusted or just wait for them to settle (and how long on that)?

I dont really think shocks settle? ...car sits on springs so springs do that...
I think stock front was a tiny bit higher... 4-5mm maybe, but not one inch(25mm). Also: how are you planning to adjust it if its ordinary shocks?
