Default Ride height on ‘55. Can I lower the front?

I guess I have a couple questions.
My ‘55 Catalina has that Carolina squat going on. The front sits higher than the back.
I like the height of the back, so want to lower the front. So I guess I need to find out what the measurements are for stock front and back ride height. I know I found this info years ago for my GTO in one of my manuals, but can’t find it for my 55.
So next question is, if the measurement for the front comes out close to stock, does anyone make a lowering spring? I see SO many posts these days with guys complaining about aftermarket springs not actually sitting at the height they are advertised to sit at.
Thanks
