Default 4" over tubes on Street Bob

Has anyone went 4" over on a street bob without changing their rake? How about changing the rake?
I keep seeing negative opinions when it comes to raked triple trees. How much can you get away with before it has an adverse affect on handling?
Cables. At 4"+ I'm assuming I will need new cables. When usuing the WG forks @ 2 over, can you get away with original SB cables?
Custom Cycle Engineering has a set of 4"+ fork tubes for $158. They include spacers so you can use your original springs.

I tried the search, the only onethread comes up. Looks like b5mac is the only one that tried the 4"over. Nothing on the rake.

I did the 4" over tubes and didn't need a rake. I also did the 2" tank lift and haven't had a problem with the fuel. I kind of like the raised look and since I have long legs it works for me. There are places that you can get a raked triple tree if you want to keep the bike low.
