Dimensions of what? What the legnth of the tubes are? You could always go with +2 fork dampers as the easy route.

Can you elaborate a little.. I thought you had to change the fork tubes.. Will longer dampers work with the stock tubes? I didn't even know they made longer dampers.. This is a new and different approach that I know nothing about...

Fork extensions are dangerous. Go ahead and grab a set of 4 or 6 over forks from TCBros or Lowbrow. That's the proper way to do it. Should be stock 39mm forks.

Do some research on them.

I would not want to be riding if/when they fail. Do it the right way and buy some a good set of forks. They come with rebuild kits for your lowers. I ran 4 over forks on my old sporty and currently running 6 over on my shovel. Both kits from TCbros.
