Nope, and don't need them. I ran the numbers for my own situation and was well within the acceptable range.
Figure out your own situation and run them yourself. There is a great deal of information and R&T calculators out there. Do a google search for rake and trail calculator.

That is correct, the question was if only 1 is lowered (originally front).

Is this how I read the trail measurements?
based on the diagram on the web, the trail has no effect when lowering just the front end?
The bikes rear end measurements are not even included on the Trails calculation. So why it is a must to lower bikes rear end when lowering front end? I dont need to do I? And bike is safe riding it that way.
By the way Thank you for this website.

TRAIL: The distance defined by the vertical line from axle to ground and the intersection of centerline of the steering neck and ground.

Speaking of CYA. Don't take my word for it, verify the numbers for your individual situation. Viewer discretion is advised,
