when the front wheel is more forward of the head tube it will lower the front end of the bike but if you have longer fork legs the drop is not as much. It's like motorcycle building, a chopper has extreme rake and really long fork legs but the front of the bike is actually higher, if you shorten up the forks you will lower the front end.
