thanks mike, I added a bung king shock extension that is supposed to give 1 3/4 length. Just wandering what I was and what I am now.

To be clear the Bunk King longer (7/8") eyelet will give you approx. 1-3/4" of lift at the rear axle.
I changed to a Fat Bob 13.1" shock which is 1/2" longer than my stock shock and raised my bike 1", but it also has more travel and an external adjuster.
