Please help me understand. Earlier I was asking about my front wheel and looked into getting it re-laced to a 21". That would lift the front of the bike 1" over stock. I have been doing some searching and now am wondering if extended fork tubes a better way to go. I only want 1" (maybe 2") of lift. I just can't seem to find much info on extended fork tubes for the Savage. I sent an email to Forking by Frank (http://www.frankmain.qpg.com/) but that was just to inquire about pricing. I can't even find a tutorial on how to replace them. I don't know if my magic Google fingers need more ground up unicorn dust or this stuff just doesn't exist. Any help, input, advice, photos, videos, etc would be greatly appreciated.

The Clymer's manual, or the Suzuki Service manual will tell you how to do it.
Also look in the tech section under "fork seal replacement". - Tells you how to dis-assemble the forks.
To replace the fork tubes would require fabricating longer spacers out of PVC tubing.
Bear in mind that longer tubes will affect the trail and make the handling worse, although an inch or two would not make too much difference. I think Frank states that he will not make tubes any longer than 4" over stock, without rake modifications.
I am curious as to why you want to do this.

Looks are a personal thing, and personally I think the bigger wheel would be the way to go.
As far as helping your back, have you considered forward controls, a better seat, (that would be where I would- and did- start) and/ or different bars? Much more effective on comfort than raising the front end.
