Fork Play

Has anyone figured out, or if it even matters, about the play in the front forks. I put in stiffer springs and it raised the front end up, as usual. There is more play there, should i be worried or jus say F*** it and ride!

forklegs were 139.95 and the bushings were 40 and the total was around $200..and the bushings will work on stock

After adding the applied heavy duty springs I noticed the front end wanted to twist when rollin' stoppies ( mine is just used to stunt on pavement ) . Cutting an inch from the spring solved this problem .
