wrt the expander plug, do you mean below the top of the headset bearing?
We can give this to you piecemeal or you can get it from an authoritative source. https://www.parktool.com/en-us/blog/...gth-and-sizing

This recommendation is often missed: "Generally, manufacturers recommend no more than 20mm additional stack height between stem and upper race." Two cm from the top bearing sounds over-restrictive. Two cm from the top of the compression cone would be more like it. But confirm with the manufacturer of your fork.
