I would love to also raise the bike a little with this mod if possible as it does not really have a big ground clearance (compared to the ktm 640 Adv for instance).
What are the essentials that need to be kept regarding the geometry in order not to screw up the bike handling?

i'm using a longer swing arm, my rear ttr shock is the same length as the xt600.
any shock change will alter the properties and geometry of the suspension.
it all depends on the intended use of the bike which way you want to go mine is set up for road use only so the ground clearance is not an issue.
if you want a lot more ground clearance buy a different bike the xt600 is not a motocross or dirt bike its a trail bike
altering the rake and trail will have a major difference in how it steers, in simple terms rake alters how quick it turns and trail alters stability.
