Been raked

I've got the raked Steerite tree on my Lehman Jackal. When I first got it I was impressed. After I got used to it I noticed a problem with "diving" when I turned. Did the Progressive fork spring change out, heavier weight fork oil, etc. that everyone (including Steerite) recommended. After noting that everyone else's raked tree kits came with short fork tube extensions I installed a pair of 2 inch fork tube extensions. Magic happened. The diving disappeared and I had the easier steering I was originally after. You may not have this issue but I thought I'd fling my experience out there just in case you ran into it.
