Fixes #10832

Summary of Changes

Gear compression value changes in PR #10804 changed the height/appearance of the tires relative to the runway. This PR changes gear lengths to raise the tires out of the pavement for the main gear and lowers the front gear tire just a bit to obtain the correct tire position relative to the runway for the changed gear compression values.
