My understanding is that dropping or raising relates to how much fork top shows through the top of the yolks.
If the fork clamps were loosened and front of the bike was supported securely by a jack and raised, this would mean less fork top was showing above the yolk (dropped)
Conversely, if the front was lowered on the jack, more of the fork tops would be showing (raised).
Or am I a mile out here?
The fact that you can, doesn't always mean you should.
