Each degree of rake lowers your bike .2 inches so 3* trees will lower your bike .6 inches.

Actually, for each degree of rake you would want to add half an inch of fork tube just to sit level. 4 degrees of rake = 2 inches of fork length for a level stance.

Right but your comparing two different measurements. Mine was how much the bike got lowered per degree vertically. Yours shows how much at an angle with the fork tube.
