They are down in the back because of the springs. the control arms have nothing to do with height.

The lakewoods are designed to be run on the lower hole, so the spring pirch is made to hold the spring at the factory hight on that setting. If you bring it to the notch up one it will cause the spring to raise a tad, but its maybe a half inch at most.
