There could be some subtle differences in linkage geometry from the older bikes to your '11, but likely not. If I remember on my '03 the change with the 124s was more like 10mm. What it also does is increase the leverage on the shock, so the bike will be using more of the initial travel faster. For this reason it may feel like it is riding lower than it actually is on the stand. Like having a slightly softer spring.
