well, when your not smooth, or if you've been riding MTB for way to long you kind of get used to squish. beside suspension has been on BMX since the 70's yamaha did a fully back then.

i had the crappy GT suspension fork they made in the 90's , that thing was so damn heavy...i bought it for like $63 and sold it for 50 to some kid...i was too light to make it work and it just had an elastomer in it like the old rock shox quadra, but with more stiction than a manipoo right out of the box...if you really want to do something like that i have a few ideas, one involves some clamps around the legs to move the dropouts up for a 20"...but the wt is pretty bad on the front of a bmx. I remember endoing multiple times off jumps while i had the GT fork on my bike. keep in mind back then i was probably hitting jumps where i got 2-3 ft of air, 5-6 ft distance max.
good luck on your quest, honestly your best bet is the answer mentioned above unless your into customization.

My LBS is in Ojai, CA by Ventura and Santa Barbara in SoCal.

I don't know how much they cost but I can find out on this Thursday if you want me to.
