For these springs, do you just replace the springs, or everything in the forks since they are longer?
Just the springs and the fork caps (or just the springs if you're finding them too soft). In my signature block there's a maintenance thread; I detailed some photos and some feedback on them.

TL,DR: if you're switching from Chimera fork caps and OEM springs to these springs and the OEM caps, there's about a 2mm-5mm difference in length. If you were ONLY changing the spring, you'd probably want to replace the spring collar (P/N 51402-KGH-901) with some PVC pipe of a slightly shorter length.
