But just raising the rear of the car without a rideheight adjustment changes the engine angle. Most engines need to have downward angle for float level adjust mentioned and engine oil level.

You're conflating two different issues. The operating angles do change when the rear suspension is lowered or raised. This is because the position of the pinion relative to the transmission changes.

Changing front ride height or installing taller or shorter tires, front or rear has zero effect on the operating angles.
