One fork could be longer than another if a person didn't thread the damper rod into the cap all the way before tightening the jam nut.
I like a smooth soft riding bike like my stock ST. I put fancy heavy springs in a bike once and HATED the harsh firm ride.
I measured the spring length of my MANY mile bike at the fork seal replacement last year. They were well within the book tolerance for stock length. I did add 1/2" of spacers (washers) just to raise the front a bit.
