Whats yours?
Mine is sitting at 6 9/16" with the bike straight up. That's with the PVC from progressive left at 4.5". What's weird is my dive is only 3", but I put in 12.5 ounces of fork oil in mine.

Thanks!

I may have mistyped that Dale. Mine dives to 4". So it has 2 1/8" dive factor.

4.5 worth of pvc in those forks? You didnt cut off any? That seems like its lots of preload. Mine is trimmed just a bit to get the spacer flush with the top of the fork.
