Any particular reason why? I'm 23st and have the forks through the yokes by about 14mm, personally I've found that each mod I've done to the bike to put more weight on the front wheel has made a positive difference to the way my bike handles - so as well as lowering the front I've jacked up the back using shorter dog-bones and have my Nitron shock set to it's maximum length. I've tried all combinations of these mods and kept coming back to the fact my bike handles so much better with them all in place.

I was going to suggest the same, even if it was to get someone with suspension expertise just to bounce the bike up and down, they can usually suss out whether the damping or preload is out and make some quick adjustments, explain what they've done and send you out on a test ride to see if it's helped.
