Default New forks

Hi guys,
I extended my forks by 4" and now my front end is just a hair off center, by that I mean that the right grip feels just a little lower than the left. How do I get everything to line up right? I also put on new handlebars. I've loosened the triple tree, the lower fork pinch bolts and the axel and given it a good shake but it still feels just a tad off. It just doesn't feel like it's lined up right. Any ideas?

I'm not sure how this is possible?
The axle pretty much squares things up, if the forks are positioned properly in the trees, then the axle will slide thru both lowers. If the forks are offset, the axle won't fit properly.

I'd guess it's the new bars.

Is the grip lower than the other? Or does it seem to be? Level the frame with a jack, and break out the tape measure.
