The measurement for stack is between BB and headtube, which will always be a constant irrespective of the fork length.
That's what I'm saying. The only way a fork can impact stack is if you're comparing 2 identical bikes but only the length of the fork differs. ie a longer fork would raise the front end (HT) of the bike higher off the ground a bit further than the BB would be raised.
