you could get it right and it would give it a taller stance but remember, the Moto4 does not have balljoint splindles as do most modern bikes, instead it uses a solid tube system..
Now the HUGE disadvantage of this is that your camber does not auto correct with wheel travel, meaning as your wheel travels up and down, your camber changes continually.
if you simply jack up the front, you will end up with serious positive camber.
The only way to rectify this is to weld new shock mounts at the correct places which you would have to work out by experimentation.
My father changed the shocks on our 89 moto4 200m they were longer too so he made new mountings for them, check out:

you cant really see the top chock mounts but they are custom...
