By raising the rear that high you are drastically altering your swing arm angle which in turn is going to affect how the bike behaves once your in the corner as well as the acceleration out of the corner. It will do wonders for flick-ability with the front set at 22mm. speaking of which, is that measured at the front of the fork tube? If so that's right about where they need to be with proper rear ride height.
