Sounds like something is different from my 2012: Total distance = .575" to .675", the fork cap is about 3/8"(.375") so I pushed my tubes through 1/4"(.250") for a total of .625" which is in the middle of the SM range.
Glad you are ahead of me on this mod, learning!
Got your shocks back?

Looks better now:
The 2010 manual which i was using was wrong. Now I get about 0.1" fork tube exposed. The stock cap was 0.400" height above tube, RSD about 1" so a difference of 0.6". Now I get about 1.1" from top of tree to top of cap (right at the 0.5" measurement if i had the stock caps on).

Alan,
Looks like they changed the protrusion amount around 2012+ for the fork tubes to the spec you have. '09-'10 it's 0.45"-0.50" then goes to 0.575"-0.675". Not sure why the change, but regardless I have longer shocks than stock in the rear so a little taller forks in the front (less protrusion) isn't a bad thing. Will add height to the front as well.
