Default what lenth fork tubes?

I put heavy duty progressives on my Lowrider to stop bottoming and raised the backend 1/2 inch for better cornering clearance- works GREAT. Now I want to bring up the front a bit ...I'm after a real mellow chopper look. Will 2 inch over tubes do the trick? Is 4 over too much? Can I get 4 and lower the trees an inch if it's too much-any advice or pics would be appreciated, THANKS oh yeah my front wheel is a 19, don't want to spend the $ on a 21

Check this link for standard tube lengths, then you could look on ebay for the set you want.

BTW, a 21" tire/wheel is not any taller than a 19" depending on the tire profile, it can actually be a smaller diameter. When I swapped from 21 to 19 it no longer fit under my fender due to width and diameter.
